Your making some quick work with the tear down. If you need some help text me and ill swing by.
And with your mild tune and lower boost its not going to explode anytime soon lol before the end of the year I say lets crank it up 20+
Thanks for the help offer. I'll def keep that in mind and let you know depending on how the day is going lol.

Believe me, now that I'll have 3 replacement pistons in it, I really have been considering trying to push this sucker HARD before the winter comes. 16-18 PSI and meth? Sounds like a great idea to me!

That does sound good or just buy some c16 for that week or so you feel like hammering it much cheaper than a meth kit. Get meth next year

Almost finished just wanted to post about what I figured out today. So this entire time I've been running only one pump. My hobbs was wired wrong and went back into the primary pump so when the hobbs came on at 2psi just sent more power to that single pump. I am impressed that it ran 9s traps @144.

You'll love that 9.5" converter.

What fuel pumps are you using? Are you running methanol injection I forgot?

So worked all day on buttoning up the rest of the car (besides the bumper and hood) but one question have any of you wired your MSD 2 step to your brake? I have tried every way to get it to work correctly and i cannot get it.

Took it out for a drive today to work on the tune but i cant believe the difference with the converter drives much nicer and it gets up when using the brake so fast i didnt expect it!!! I'll try it out possibly Wed
