If the wideband is right, it looks like it could use some fuel.

Yea it jumps around, once it its boost it goes 10.0 then it starts leaning out around 5500 it goes 12.2ish. So more fuel is a must or turn the boost down a pound.

Based on that video, you hit 15.0 A/F twice when in boost. I'd pay attention to that and get some more fuel in.

Those weren't WOT, we drove around last night for about 2 hours. Theblur got the part throttle/driveability almost dialed in, +- 1-3% fuel trims in most cells. We will be working on the PE tables soon.

Those came with the with the PP typhoon intake I used to have. They are basically Speed inc. budget rails. I have had hell finding a bolt, are local mom and pop store that has ever bolt known to man is closes right now trying to recover from the hurricane damage.

I hear ya, but even at part throttle, it looks like you had positive manifold pressure. You don't need to be WOT to be in boost As long as you are comfortable with it... just wanted to point it out.

Just a little, where it went up in front of the radiator. It's nothing you can see. I also trimmed the plastic vents that are on bottom of the bumper. I used some of the medical scissors that EMTs carry.

I had to pull the intake off today to fix an oil leak from the oil pressure sending unit. Since I had it off I decided to take care of the MAP sensor while I had the chance. I hasn't popped out yet but it takes very little effort to remove. I am sure it would pop out on its own when the boost gets turned up. I also lift the car back up to where it's level.

It took maybe 10 minutes.
3/8" NPT tap
19/32" drill bit
3/8" NPT x 1/4" barbed fitting
1/4" vacuum hose

I think this should hold up well.

Did you have to remake the PS lines, or were you able to get them bent outta the way?

We also just bypassed the PS cooler by re-routing one of the stock lines. That bought us some more room.

About 90%, my fuel pressure is dropping down to 50psi which is why its so high.

I don't have any pictures of the hose. Do you even have a PS cooler. If you do just take the clamps and hose off of it. Bend the hose back around to the other nipple on the pump. Trim it so it is short as possible.

After looking around and seeing how people cut there grills out I decided to do mine.






It looked like **** red so I cleaned up the cuts and painted what was left of the grill. I left that much for support of the bumper.

Also my Snow kit came in and I got it installed. It was a very easy install and allowed me to turn the car up from 7 to 12 psi which really woke it up. The car feels a lot faster than it ever has. I am ready to go to the track and see what kind of trap speeds it can lay down. I am guessing 12# would be close to 700rwhp. I will have to wait to get on a dyno to find out.
