I got a GoPro Hero2 for X-mas, and i have been wanting to try it out.


This is the first time out this year with the car, its only on 7 lbs, just blowing the cobwebs out.

I would rather hear more of that turbo then the music. Mods? What wheels/tires in the rear?

thanks, there is a fuel pressure gauge on the hood (temporary) and a intake elbow sticks up in the center. both will be covered up with a hood soon.







when its warmer, i am doubling the boost setting. 7 lbs just isn't fun anymore

I dont know what it will actually put down.

I dynoed at a local shop with one single pull (, shop drama) and it only put down 531/630 on 7lbs, and stopped making power at 4500 rpms.

but it was SUPER rich (10:1), and i never got to touch my timing.

i have since tuned it on the street, and it feels much stronger, and I will be turning the boost up whenever it warms up.

Id guess its doing 560/650 right now on 7 lbs, but thats with my ricer math.

here is an old pic with different gauges, and partailly assembled interior.
