There is 1200 hp+ worth of compressor on it. (Flywheel) I think 18 psi will get me around my goal. Real goal is wicked response with this 6 speed. I want to enjoy it. Cylinder heads is my business. This engine will make 450-475 rwhp easy N/A. I figure 18psi on top of that will be just right.

Thank you. The car is done. My tuner buddy and Dyno shop owner is headed down this evening to pull the tune and start the work of getting everything ready for the new setup.

My buddy came down last night and pulled the file from my car. Let the tuning begin!
Also I would like to mention this tuner friend of mine works on all kinds of cars. Alot of stupid high dollar machines so he is no stranger to something "shinny". He was floored by the level of detail and quality of work in this kit. It was nice to have someone recognize it. A few friends of mine have come by and looked at it and act like I put chrome valve covers on it. Some people!

Always someone in the crowd.
I tried it without the weather seal but didn't like it. You know the crimp has 2 steps in it. One for the wire, then a larger for the insulated part of the wire. If I did the crimp to hold the insulation minus the weather seal then the weather seal was hell to try and shove into the connector after it was assembled. It didn't seem to want to stay and it was not flush with the end of the connector. I did it this way so it held the seal and all went together with a nice "click" the weather seal is tight around the wire insulation and around the inside of the connector. Even though it squashed the super soft weather seal it is still doing the job it was intended for. Wire being held on the insulation, weather tight seal, tight crimp on wires.

Yeah, I know, that's why I judged your method. lol. Why would you crimp the insulation part of the wire WITHOUT the seal already in place? That's like step 2??? ...step 1, cut wire to length; step 2, put seal in place; step 3, strip like a quarter inch of insulation; step 4, place wire with terminal into crimper and crimp twice? If you haven't already, I would suggest taking a factory connector apart to see what it should look like...yeah
