Been driving the car for the last two days to make sure I got all the bugs worked out. So far so good but I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Now for the fun stuff The BOV and turbo spooling sound awesome! There is virtually no turbo lag that I can notice and the car feels strong! Being that it is still not tuned, I have the boost turned down to ~4psi and haven't gone past half throttle. The good news is that even at half throttle it feels just as fast as it used to be when it was a H/C/I car! I am really excited to see what this thing is going to do on the dyno on Wednesday. I'll post up results sometime Wednesday, and hopefully a video.

Finally got the car tuned yesterday! Had a few issues with spark plug wires at first and was reading way low on power. Once we figured out where the bad wire was the power levels were right where we expected them to be.
The car put down 563rwhp and 551rwtq on 10psi. Very happy with the street manners on this thing. Mike at Straightline did a great job and I couldn't be happier with the setup.

I took it for a drive and couldn't believe how fast the boost kicks in and once it does it really puts you back in your seat!

I took a video of the car on the dyno, but unfortunately my phone went flaky and didn't save the file. The good thing is that the guys at Straightline also took a video so they are going to get me a copy as soon they get it loaded into their computer.
I will post up the video as soon as I get it, but for now here is the dyno sheet.
nk to it.

This is with a bone stock bottom end from a 99 vette. Engine has a TR224 cam, melling oil pump, double roller timing chain, stock 317 truck heads with 918 springs and a set of LS9 MLS gaskets.
I spun a bearing in my engine last year due to a bent ARP rod bolt and decided it was time for an upgrade and power adder. You can check out my build thread on TCG. Click the link in my sig
