BLING BLING. I don't know where in the process it got switch but we're back in biz now.
It's raining really hard and with the falkens it likes to break loose even in 3rd gear.. but it looked like I was holding 23-24 around 7k.
I can't believe nobody mentioned this and or I didn't think of it. Well actually I thought of it but just laughed it off and never tried it a few days ago.
Moral to this story is I'm an idiot.. I don't mind being one as long as the car is good to go
I did learn a lot during the process and fixed a few things along they way.
Sorry to Forge for dissing their products so much... I was frustrated.

I would like to come over and slap you 
PS: I'm going to try another half to full turn on the WGA to get up to the highest recommended (4 full turns).
The exedy twin is an AWESOME clutch. I have 100+ launches on this thing almost 30k miles and still fairly strong!
Now it's going to rain til Monday so TTP won't be able to help out with the tune

You're more than welcome to kick my *** for this one! lol
I'm so freaking excited now I can't even sit still lol. I really did have a problem at first that I fixed... then somehow I got confused which vac line went where and it was down hill from there.
Definitely a learning experience!

Eh? How do you keep the car from bucking or stalling? The blue spring seems to be the "smoothest" on the street for me... Hell I'll give it a try just to see if I notice anything different on my zt2 logs. Couldn't hurt.. I've tried damn near every thing else

Fully let off the throttle when you are done in the gas. Part throttle half closing the plate will cause pressure surges.

How much preload are you currently running? If it is spooling up quickly already and you are over 18# of preload, then you won't gain much in the way of response by increasing preload any more. You could try between 1/2 to 1 turn more. If you're already seeing close to 15-17 PSI of boost by 3400 RPM, then I wouldn't mess with it too much more.
