Yes it's up and running. I just re-did the vacuum wiring today with the new catch can and check valve. I have to finish my boost gauge and fuel pressure gauge wiring and then tuesday morning it's off to Speed Inc.

After all that hard work it must feel great to see those results.
That's a nice flat torque curve, nice linear steady horsepower curve
and a nice safe and steady tune on the a/f ratio.

They didn't say what the psi was on it's dyno. With the pulley it's somewhere between 7-8 psi. It was raining too much yesterday to really get on it but for the little that I did on the interstate I saw around 6 lbs, not taking it all the way up.
Honestly, it's about exactly what I was expecting and hoping for. I had a 125 shot on before this and knew I wanted to feel that range of power any time I put the pedal down.
