Well it was supposed to be raining today w/ thunderstorms, but since it looks clear I went for a drive.

I'm finally making some progress, turned the boost up and it comes to life. Still have a 5psi spring in the wg, seems to hold steady @14psi. The meth kicks on @~12psi and pegs the wideband rich.

3.17FD and 245/45R17 Nitto Drag Radials start spinning when boost hits(not hard but there clawing at the pavement) then grip and its time to shift(6500 for now). I have like 32 psi in the tires for street driving. It gets up to 100mph pretty quick. My EGT's are a little high till the meth kicks(need to add timing) on then drop at least 100deg. The A/F is rich, worked on that some and got it to just under 11:1 then an IC hose poped off and I went home.

At least I finally get to have some fun, now just need to drive around some more, lean it out a tad, add some timing back in and turn the wick up to 20psi.
Should be fun, I still have a smile on my face after 3years w/o boost. I need to get to the track but the stupid Harley Davidson/Michigan Chopper Fest is there this weekend.
