Haven't posted in a while, finally got a new computer, struggling thru that (not exactly literate on these things, lol) Anyway, been working on the boost, some self inflicted problems finally fixed, and switched to a 4 port Mac valve, really made life easier. Anyway, have it dialed in around 11 lbs on 93, plan on doing some tunning on E85, but prob will live 95% of the time on 93. Have about 200 miles on it, everything is working as it should, just need to clean up some smaller things on it. Cut the bumper out for more air to the IC'er, decided to paint the ugly grill, headlight doors. The 80 MM turbo is a little laggy compared to the 78/75 on the Hornet, but being a 6.0 has good zip until the boost hits, lol. It seems happy cruising 35 or 70, I can lock the converter at 50 and still pull good. Might hit a track rental once tuned on E85, but prob not until after the Ocean cruise. Still need to figure out an air filter for the turbo, nothing from K & N will clear, prob make up something.
