my lt1 hit 28 psi of boost today. waiting for the dyno i drove my car today and i hit 25 psi and i stop looking almost hit 30 psi. im hoping to have it up on the dyno within a week. i have to wait for more money to come my way to pay for the dyno. i drove it today without good tabs and no insurance. the thing sounded like a jet plaine taking off. the engine sounded really good no detention on 92 octain pump gas 
.

the engine is a 383 with 72mm turbonetics turbos. turbonetic set the turbo up for me. and the a/f is 11.5 under boost and around13.5 at idle. and i didnt mean to hit 28psi i had my old manual boost controller hook up and had a boost spike. but im getting a electronic boost controller. i was trying to get around 20 psi

im just glad we got it boost good with no leg at all. within a sec it hit almost 30 psi. and i learned never to open it up next to people that dont wont to race. im not putting no one in any danger. but i have melted tires at 60+ mph and put the car almost side ways and its scary
