I tried runniing the wastegate springs at 15 but the car was blowing the tires off even 7-800 feet out so I went back to the ten pound springs and dual stage manual boost controller. Near as I can see on the gauge is 11 or so outta the hole and 13 or abit more on the second stage.
The PTC convertor is night and day better then my tcs , really gets the power down quickly. The bullet muffler is just a summit 4 inch.

Got to the track Saturday with a little better result. Was still battling traction issues but somewhat got down the track. I can see I got to dig into the back suspension alittle more

Well a sudden ending to the year. My trusty 10 bolt finally broke! Heard some noise in the back while heading out for a 7 eleven for a big gulp. Pulled the cap and found this....

Well the Currie 9 inch I've had sitting on the floor is now going in except I have to pull the 4.86's out and put in either 3.20's or 3.50's to go with my 30 inch tires. I had 3.42's this year.
