The beginning of something...
Oh yeah...
I have about 450 miles on the new engine
I've been running along at 8psi and I have alot left to do, but I'm hoping to bring the boost up about 3 psi tomorrow, and I'm hoping to be at 15psi by just after Thanksgiving. I'm trying to take my time with this and work has kept me VERY busy.

MORE BOOST!!!
heh heh
Well I have the car up to 12.5 psi with about 14.5deg timing around the peak tq area moving up to 16deg by just after 5K and WOW what a step up from 8psi!!! I am at the limit of my fuel system for now. My wideband shows me leaning out to about 11.0 at the end of a pull from the bottom to top of 3rd gear.
My crappy street tires don't stand a chance
These things will top-fuel spin at highway speed
I need to look more at the shoes the car is wearing now, first and second gear are totally and completely useless. Seriously.
Good stuff, took me for f'n ever to get here.

Awesome Frost! Glad to hear the good news! What does your fuel system consist of?
I bet your waiting for those nbice 315 17" MT's to come out eh?
Great work

I had an issue with my eBoost controller, MM said, "look at this area" and he was dead-on, so it's less my great work and more his realization but nevertheless...
(Thanks Mouse!)YES GOD WHEN THE HELL ARE THE 315/35 17 ETSRs coming out already??
Fuel system right now is a Racetronix[walbro] in-tank pump, racetronix harness, MSD pump booster, -6 feed line, stock line for the return, Nasty Nate fuel rails, 60lb injectors, a front-mounted boost referenced fuel pressure regulator, and an Alkycontrol meth kit. I'm tuning with HPTuners. I'm kind of curious where the HP is at right now.... Should get the second pump and some other issues tied up over Thanksgiving.

Your sig pic is great; do you have some sort of mesh in front of the IC or not?

Life is good. Running around 11 psi or so:
Mine's a T67, though, so no "big" numbers. But plenty fun for now. You end up learning how to use "part throttle". Not used to that.
I'm keeping a wary eye on everything; gaining some confidence in the car's reliability. Knock on wood, so far so good.

The graph looks full of torque
After being stranded by a thrown and shredded belt, and worrying about stuff burning up I know how you feel. So far so good for me too. What does your timing look like across the board at WOT? What is the CR of your engine? That thing is way safe rich Mine leans out to 10.8-11.0 above 6K and that's on meth 
I purge the meth and see it hit the wideband before I put my foot down. I'm hoping to have a second pump in there by the end of the week when I'm off.

Frost, I'm not the tuner so I can't tell you what's in the tables... but logging timing while at WOT shows me 18 degrees or so. I'm around 9.2 for compression.
BTW, that graph above is on methanol. I would think that you wouldn't actually have to worry until you get close to 12.0, would you? I wanted mine to be 11.5 max, but I'm trying to go extra safe.
Anyway, two pumps (with the second boost-actuated) is definitely the way to go. Mine's set up that way and it's overkill.

Another reason to be so fat and light on the timing (even tho I'm at about 8.6:1 CR) is that when my buddies and I had the M6 out the other weekend, I lost feedback from both knock sensors
This coming holiday (end of the week) I'm swapping intakes and will be addressing the knock sensor issue then and will feel a little better about leaning things out and adding timing.
