This Thing I freaking Awesome!!!!!
Ok to elaborate. I just got the car up and running again thursday night. I took it out last night, of couse my neighbor want te see it run. I took one easy 1/2 throttle run, Pulled like never before on that run, about 15 psi and the second fuel pump light was coming on so I knew everything was working. I pulled back in my driveway because the shift linkage fell off (woops). Put it back together and pulled back out. This time I held the brake (tranny brake isn't wired up yet) I was amazed on how fast the turbo spooled compared I was thinking I may have more lag since my convertor is only around 3200-3400 rpm stall. I launched the thing and it just rocketed. Shifted it into second and looked at the boost gauge, holy cow 25 psi. I thought I had the wastegate actuator real loose, but must not have. This thing will freking run now. I can't wait to get it to the track and do some tuning and see what it will really do. Then driving around later I gavethe thing about 3/4 throttle to impres a rider and it broke the slicks loose at 35 mph, very impressive.
