Default Car is done...got a new name!

i used to post as BlackbootyZ71, but the new handle is more fitting

Anyway...The car is finally running after the blower install/headers/tune etc...

the car made good power for my mods (see sig)...it was maxing out at about 7psi.



now i just need to save some money so i can hook up at the track!

easiser said than done right? I'm still breaking it in a bit...I actually had a problem on the way home tonight..the car was hesitating a bit, and only showing 2lbs of boost...but low and behold, the surge tube came loose!

d'oh!

At least it's an easy fix though!

I put about 50 miles on the car today, including 1.5hrs of stop and go driving...and even with the ATI fan..the car temps never budged (although it was only like 80 today). I am really impressed with this kit. The driveability of the car is absolutely amazing!

I think the next mods will be: New catback (loudmouth is annoying the hell out of me), new clutch, 12 bolt, wheels/tires...in that order.
