Pump is nice and quiet. It is boost referenced, and has no problem keeping up at that level.

update on the TBSS: installed a Baker Engineering spec'd cam, some FIC127s, and Tj retuned it. It made 809 rwhp and 801 rwtq @16psi. More power and tq at less boost with the new cam, and power comes in 1000 rpms earlier than before. Then he turned up the boost to 20 psi, and it made 935 rwhp/ 871 rwtq. He stopped there due to the stock tires having traction issues on the dyno and having an aluminum driveshaft (stock). I am very happy with the power #s and with this new cam and retune, it gets decent mileage when out of boost. Tj @ Baker Engineering really did a good job with the tuning.

Im running the same pump on my nova which did 888rwhp on gas. Good to see it is cranking some solid #s on E85. I love mine btw. Very nice looking and quiet. I wired one pump to a hobbs switch and I don't even hear them run.

Haha, this thing really pulls ridiculously hard on the hwy. I ended up getting a steel driveshaft and a strange yoke for some peace of mind. Just need to get some stickier tires now

I think the same thing some times. Mine is AWD also. I am thinking it will be a completely different car when I can get a converter in it. How does yours do off the line if you just mash it with that 3200 stall? I was thinking about getting a 3600 for mine.

Scott gets about the same MPG on his awd Silverado SS too. He just went 10.4@135 with his truck on E85 with our BEI 370 and a FI 84mm turbo. The track was very cold so he could only leave on 1-2psi or it would spin all 4 tires into 2nd gear.

Damn. I need to get that 84mm. Best I could muster was 10.7 @ 131.2 mph, 1.7 60ft pushing through the brakes and 1-2 psi. Tj, I should have bought a motor from you guys.
