Well after much playing, I have my my boost set where I want it. If you guys recall, I couldn't run more than 12psi without running 25psi. Well some boost controler modifications have landed me at 19psi pretty steady. Sure it spikes to 23psi in 5th, but everything looks good.

Now for all of you running pump gas, I'm wonder the BEST way to tune this. I currently have it running lean and mean with my timing toping out at 10-12 degrees. I have always been under the impression that less timing and less fuel would be the best combo. Although inaccurate, my O2s are MUCH lower than they were durring my dyno pull days. That day the O2 was showing .96-.98. Durring a recient 5th gear pull I was showing .82-.88 which most O2 tuners would say is lean as hell, but I only saw timing being pulled at one low .80 spot.

With a decient launch, I think I might be able to kiss 12's at the meetup. So how are the rest of your cars running?

I am still at the mercy of my apt. complex to get my DAMN garage ready so i can finish this stupid project, I still need to get the trani pulled from the car and rebuilt at SloPny. I am also trying to get a turbo in time to install and run it through a few test cycles before cordova.... I've got a long ways to go and a short time to get there.

I'm moving at the end of this month. I'm so looking forward to having a garage. Sure I won't get a car inside, but I will have room for lots of cool tools. biggthumpup.gif Good luck on getting it all done GSX.

I'm actually insulating my garage right now and working on getting new shelving units installed so that I can actually find all my tools when I need them. Car is still sitting, I've got to put on the dampener, install the power steering pump, all the belts, install the radiator, fill the drivetrain with fluids, and get a battery. After that, she'll be driveable.......hopefully.
