Sounded like a descent time. I bought some M&H racemasters 11.5x26x15. They hook like a champ.
Just paint the LCA relocation brackets black with spray paint.
Save and get an EBoost2, I just got one and it is the ****. I bought mine used from a friend for $400. But I think you can get them as low as $300.

Definitely need a boost controller looking back at the logs. The boost isn't consistent at all. If it goes over 7lbs it starts to get crazy, down to 6 up to 8 back down to 7 down to 6 up to 7, no consistency at all. Leaving the line, I didn't even build any boost, so there is plenty more in this setup.
How do the manual boost controllers compare, I like those prices much more.
I tried a manual controller I bought for $40 online, was junk - hard to adjust and it wasnt consistent at all - ended up landing on 9.5psi on 91 octane just going off the spring in the gate. I'm planning on leaving the timing alone and bumping up the boost with either another spring that I've got that netted 13.5psi or a better controller when I can afford it for 101-104 gas. I'm sure theres better manual ones out there though, just have to shop around and may a tad more than I did.

My wife seen the Bogarts and she said, "how much are they I really like those," and I told her. She replied with, "**** no!" So I don't think I'll be getting those any time soon.
Its funny you said that, thats how I got mine. This guy had em in VA beach and his wife found out how much he paid for em and bitched at him until he sold em. He sold them to me for cheap, she told him that if they weren't gone by the end of the day then she would be.
