Thumbs down started off good.....

Ended very badly...............This morning I finally got around to installing my shifter console plate for my Prostick. That was a real joy getting the shifter positioned just right. cut weld fit, cut weld refit and on and on.

So I get that finished and i get the cable adjusted just right. I take for a ride to check it out. (th400 w/reverse VB) I get out on the 4 lane road and foot brake at about 15mph in 1st gear. I loaded the motor for just a second then smashed on it. Boost was instant.........Like a nitrous car instant. smoked the ET streets through 1st and halfway through 2nd then the car started cutting out. I wasnt in the gas but for about 3 seconds or less. I didnt get a chance to look at the boost gauge cause my head was pinned to the seat. . But i am positive it hit well over 30psi. My stupid @$$ hooked up the tial wastegate wrong. I pulled the drivers side head off tonight and it is not pretty at all. Motor is coming out so i can have an easier time fixing the head gakets and all. I cant believe i was that stupid. I know better than that. oh well such is life.
