Step two. Set the 2 step RPM just below that.

Step three. Buy and install a boost controller that can use CO2 like the AMS500.

Step four. Add 10 psi of CO2 to the launch stage on the gate.

Step five. Get up on the 2 step and see how high it'll go on boost. Adjust boost controller launch stage up or down until you achieve desired launch boost.

Step six. Make sure to put a change of underwear in the car so that you can change them after you **** yourself from the wheel stand.
1&2) I will try that out.
3&4) I have the ams1000 currently pumping 35psi of compressed air into the top of a jgs wastegate. With it off I only hit 2psi. I plan on switching over to co2 as so as I get the correct regulator. I just put this together with a 5 gal tank and stuff I had laying around. The downside is I get one run in then its time to refill the tank.

6) That is what I have been hoping for since I started the build 2 yrs ago. I also hope I don't take out the trans pan when it happens.

I wouldn't spray it! Fix whats wrong, no bandaid it! First I'd start off with calling ptc and getting a converter, then I'd look at what your compression is exactly, possibly even swap heads to bring it up, with e85 no reason at all to run it that low. Then I'd go to the truck manifolds and 2.5" crossover and DITCH that spoolvalve(which probably isn't working right). The turbo is big, but you should be able to make it work ok, although I'd ditch it also if it was me. Then make sure you are using the 2 step, add timing and lean it out like mentioned.
I just looked up the part number for the piston again (Wiseco K392X3) and I'm running 317 heads. So it looks like I have 8.1 to 1 Compression. I thought I was at 8.5 oops. I know that's hurting me.

I gave ptc a call. I'm looking at 900 plus shipping for the 9.5 converter. That's about what I was expecting price wise. I'm going to save up for that. In the mean time I'm going to order some truck manifolds a get that going with 2.5 piping and remove the spool valve so I can 2 step again. I have wanted to redo hot side pipes for a while now. I don't like having the turbo under the throttle body heating up the inlet pipe. I also want to be able to check my plugs with out having to take the manifolds off.

Are you sure the ams is working right. 35 psi plus the gate spring should be a lot of boost

I would use 2.25" piping for the crossover, its more than enough and will keep the velocity up moreso.

This was highly recommended to me also so i'm going with the same size myself. The guru's say velocity is VERY important. Very cool Z!!!
