044's the car runs and drives normal its only under WOT that it looses pressure.

Pulled the pre filters last night and it held 50ish PSI @ 5lbs of boost with a base pressure of 43. im assuming thats correct? I cant say ive paid attention to any low boost logs I'm going to put the 14lb springs in tonight and see what happens.

Fuel pressure should increase 1:1 with boost over base. 48 from the screenshot is right.

It was great seeing you today, I apologize that I had to cut it short. I'm ******* sick as a dog and have had 102 fever for the last 2 days. I really wanted to get into showing you some stuff on the truck but I was sweating like a ***** in church and just needed to get back inside to lay down. Thanks for buying my Magnafuel set up. If you have any questions or need anything, just let me know. When myself and the weather clear up, and you get that fuel system changed around, I am fully expecting you to come back over and show the thing off. The truck should be more complete next time as well.

So.. A little update on the car. Everything seems to be functioning properly. I'm going to the track next weekend to do some high boost pulls but I've been running it on the street and it is nothing short of out of control. I need a lot of seat time!

Ron to answer your question many months ago. I think I will leave it around 650whp on the street. 1000 is just to much and the car is a handful at those levels.

This video displays some of that. The hit against the vette was a wash. I jumped out on him and forgot I had my boost safeties setup.. As soon as it saw 23psi the car shut down. I figured out what the issue was and hit it against viper at 27lbs.. No Bueno with no seat time. Almost lost it a few times.

Keep making decisions like that and you may survive to retirement age.

No I'm just saying that 1000whp is completely unnecessary on the street unless your trying to show off or race someone REALLY fast. The car is X100 more dangerous at 1000WHP than it is at 650.
