Default First time in the 500s!

Hey gang. I sold my bolt on C5 Z06 that I was daily driving and found an 04 GTO. it had only 44K miles on it that already had heads/cam and P1SC Procharger. Had been sitting for almost a decade. Almost every rubber hose was dry rotted and needed to be replaced. It had boost leaks and it was obvious that whoever did the install of the kit did not care about any details. The MAF was rubbing the AC Pulley! All they had to do was loosen the clamps and rotate or pull the MAF up higher. And the power steering hose for the relocation was too big and they just worm clamped the hell out of it. I took the car to one meet and dug into it less than a week after buying it. Went through the Procharger kit, fixed boost leaks, replaced a lot of hoses and fittings. All new filters and fluids except the trans(soon to be done). Added a drain tube to the Procharger. Then found out I was losing fuel pressure. Added a DW300C pump, it already had 60lb injectors, but that didn't fix it. Went through everything I could think of but couldn't fix the fuel pressure issue. Dropped it off at my tuners shop and he found that some rodents had chewed up some wiring when it had been sitting. He fixed it and put a good tune on it with constant fuel pressure.

She made 521HP and 442TQ to the wheels on ONLY 6.5lbs of boost! I'm stoked!
