new scavenge pump won't be here until monday. I'm going to change the cam intake centerline and valve lash this weekend to try to help the low-end characteristics. I've gotten enough data to work on the tune on the bottom end to help bring in the power much faster

I'll be going next saturday for a few more test hits. if all goes well, I plan on upping the boost so its well into the 30s, maybe even 40 psi

Depending on how things go and if there are two Advanced ET license holders at the track, I might try a full 1/4 mile pass or two for A/ET license passes. I need to get the car up to a point it'll go faster than 7.50 in the 1/4 before I try that though

Due to constant oil scavanging issues, I'm trying a oil catch can under the turbo. It holds 2qts, but is 1qt effective at the oil inlet.

so I was trying to test the boost building in the driveway yesterday and started having issues. after an hour of diagnosis, found a broken jesel rocker. I'm down until I can score a replacement

was still able to spool the turbo on 7 cylinders, but couldn't flash the converter hard enough due to lack of torque :b ang:
