2 things:
End the immelman twist sooner.
That overbank is overbanked, unless it goes up more. It also has a straight spot seen in the overview picture. Also, can you show us this so called perfect speed?

Hows This?

In the second pic, it looks sharp because the twist starts to twist.

You ready to ride the Fist O' Pain?

Your supporting technique seems like it could be improved...you have a box-support with a few connections to the track, then a gap, then another box support...it's not working. You need to have the box supports follow the shape of the track, and make many connections between the box support and the track. That will help you out a ton.
Just look at some good coasters, and you'll see what I mean.

I did that on the turn^. Update:
I just need to put in one more support to make the turn a little more sturdier.

The turn out of the MCBR looks pretty steep. Or is that because you haven't put the support in yet?

I built the turn. I didnt have enough height for the loop so I made a corkscrew. This is only the shaping. Look what I just bought for $50 with shipping! (4th pic)

The shaping looks fine you just need to support it during the twist and before the twist.

It doesn't look like a corkscrew.
a corkscrew should look like a Sine Wave from above.
This backs up on itself too much, from what I can see, can we get a birds-eye view, please?

^a corkscrew shouldn't be a sin wave, it should be a sin wave BUT with 2 times 90°.
What you build is a loop stretched out a bit.
