Congrats Get a video clip of that thing at idle, I want to hear how loud the XB-1A is.
Are you planning to dyno it once the tune is right? How much boost are you shooting for?

How did you deal with the oil problem? Is it a bolt in to the regular powerdyne kit??

yea once i get the tune right we will be shooting for 10psi on the stock internals and after forged internals we'll bump it up to 15,

93ta, the headunit is almost exactly the same only differences are the scroll, and the xb is alil thicker, as for the oil thing i used a scavenger setup from rick@sts and the oil line kit from powerdyne (which i shoulda made myself 79bux for some hoses and fittings) but so far so good and once livernois gets the new dyno in then we will see for sure
