Well i got some exhasut on it today... just a 90 bend and then a LM1. my main thing was to get it not pointing at my nittos. It sounds great i think... Ill post a cound clip prob tomorrow. but it needs to get cleaned up later.



Im still confused on how to hook up my bov. boost controller and boost gauge into the vacum lines...

I had my boost/vac gauge hook up and it was reading 20mm/hg at all rpms.... and then i started it later that day and it was at 4 and now its at 0... so idk. but thats only one that i found a spot to tap in... I still need to hook up 2 more..

and that one isnt even working... so i need help

Other than that... i should be good.

just waiting on a new Keeper from patriot to finish the springs

then i need to run the wires to the waste gate... easy

ill put the injectors in at norris..


I was about to call and set up a new appointment with Mike Norris... but

i think my friggin clutch is slippin now.
