i LOVE shinny new parts, looks good

looks like there's no IC, i would get one my friend, they work A-mazing and look cool on camaros

what kinda cam do you have? making 470 with stock cam is possible, but i would think that you would need 7.5 psi

Pretty much to set the boost controller you need to back it all the way out(counterclock) and then in 3-4 turns and then test drive and ajust untill you get the psi. you want.

ONLY turn the **** 1/2 a turn when adjusting to be safe!!!

If you haven't wrapped your exhaust or got an FMIC you'll definately want to think about that next. If you like what you have now do those upgrades and you'll drool all day long!!!
