Can you setup the boost to come in at X rpm (or MPH) with the Holley like you can with the MS3? Seems like if you could pour on the boost over 6k you could get your peaky 4 digit power level dyno number without pounding on it so hard at low RPM. Should be a lot easier on things if you only make “big” power well above peak torque.
Yes you can do boost control based on gear, time, rpm, mph, manual inputs all kinds of stuff and it works really well.

Sorry if you already said, but do you have a link to the pressure regulator you used to test the wastegate? Thanks.

Any regualtor will work with the right fittings. Head to your local big box (Menards, Home Depot, Lowes, etc) and grab one. If you can find a lower resolution (0-30 psi) would be best. I use one off an old air compressor, it just takes smaller turns, but works fine.

I see this literally all the time tuning cars. The people stuck on the "boost math" train (NA HP/14.7xboost+NA HP=HP) never want to believe it though.

Hey denmah, in one of the vids you mentioned something about Cameron's fix that lowered trans. temp. Can you elaborate? I just ran into an issue with reduced flow to the cooler. Lost the trans. but hoping to avoid it in the future.
