Great job Phil and crew!!
Too much boost?? I always say not enough head gasket!! Just getting one ready with the dual oring type that I think you are using. How has that been holding up for you?

Last night was the closest racing ever @ MIR. The bump was 5.05, every race was a tight race.

From the boost curve, I think we have ALOT left in it and 5psi on the run where We thought it made too much boost.


And I can't forget my Wife Jessica, Shawn and crew thanks for all the help last night!

Well,i guess we answered this question,

https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...sx-planet.html

looks like the main support is working pretty good,not bad for a couple of nobodies


thanks to everybody for the comments

nothing better than standing at the starting line, watching the win light come on in the finals, knowing that you helped make it happen.

And without that lazy *** boost curve on the 6th stage she might have gone 166-167.
