I think Cordova is about the only place im gonna hit. I wish I could get out more, but I just cant. Ya, that TTA went to Canada and I havnt seen it since.

I'll try to catch you @ Cordova sometime. Nice build.

Today the car ran great. Changed oil, dissected filter and all looks good. Cranked boost a couple pounds and thats all the time i got. I wanted 25, but I wasnt going to just go there and see what happens...lol.
It pulls really hard top of third. I was in an area where the road is straight for a mile or so and dropped it down to 3rd and hammered it....No laying over at all....
THis is all on a fat 10.2-10.6 AFR and 19° timing. If anyone wants to see logs, I will be happy to show...Heck, you might find something I didnt.

I forgot to mention I have been using a volt booster from Caspers. WOT runs are at 14.9-15.2
Much better than 12.2-12.6

I thought we already opened negotiations for a set? Of course I do!

You get the next pair buddy! I will try and get them done in a few weeks. You had special requests and that changed my tooling. Yours are going to be sweet looking tho.

Sweet! Sounds good! My engine bay will be nowhere near as nice looking as yours, but they will definitely help. Once you figure out how to do mine you should be able to do anyone's covers for them.
