Thumbs up Evil is on the road

Drove it a whopping 6 miles today with the AC cranking Idle's nicely at 750rpm with 18 inches of vacuum

On another note I has a certain 4.8 liter truck pushing 18lbs of boost earlier today too Amazing how it won't hold 18lbs on the dyno but will perfectly hold it on the street

To bad they're mustangs though! Maybe Mike's car will give them a run for their money... with enough boost anything could be done!

BTW, send me a PM or an email regarding the P1 vs D1 spreadsheet I sent you... want to hear your thoughts (good or bad).
