Good luck with your dyno tune!
Who is tuning it for you?

Oh yes, i am close... unfortunately working 6/12's for the past two weeks and the rest of this week has left me with very little time to work on the beast.
All I have left to do is:
re-run my alternator cable
install the front bumper cover
run my coolant hose from my radiator to my water pump
Fill the car with fluids
Start and enjoy

Thanx LS1NOVA!

I took the car out today and actually drove it up and down the street. In the short time I drove the car, I am very happy with it! I can't wait to get it on the dyno!


BTW... I found out that if you forget to tighten down a silicone coupler, the car will let you know at around 5psi

Thanx Yenkm68! Very nice numbers! Hopefully I can do as well on the dyno come Wednesday. We shall see. I am working out a few other bugs right now, not related to the turbo setup, trying to have it ready to tune.
