Let me know
Trav yes let me know, 60 is not bad, I need to this along with some better
smaller clamps on the boost lines!! Thanks!!

I will start to slowly turn up the boost and log see how she does, I have noticed that my e.g.t.'s are down about 150 deg. celcius.

I gotta get out on the highway and do some full 4th gear pulls out to 8k to really see how she is behaving so far knock is non existent as i expected but is runnin a tad rich in the mid 10 range gotta get her back mid to high 11's. I got a few maps to work with
turn it up to 30 psi whats the big deal

more boost has been introduced. pushed 24.5 psi into her tonight , again a couple 3rd gear pulls , gotta find a nice stretch close bye that I can pull some 4th gear pulls , but pushin 130mph @ 8k , there are not too many close roads that I can pull that off at.

It did break up though on the one pull still runnin rich , No knock but 2 big hiccups followed bye a big cloud of smoke , A/F's in the mid 10's. I havnt addressed any fuel yet. Just tryin to get the boost up a bit without any issue as far as knock go's but I might have to address this rich condition
