Very nice numbers for hot day in TX, did you have any heat soak issues while tuning or did your meth help that out for temps ?

I think the meth helped but it was really hot out and I had some belt slip so would guess there is another 10 hp in there at least will post some pics later after the site maintenance

some pics the first dyno graph was before I got the car the second is from yesterday and I was getting belt slip above 7600 rpm the blue line on the bottom of the graph is boost so there is more on the table but it was 2:30 in the afternoon and I didn't want to get stuck in too much traffic so I would guess there is 10-15 hp to be had at 9 psi as I made 8 psi with the belt slip glad to be done for the most part is it the fastest no but its a good all around car hope to be at the next c&c in October

looking good Matt Cant wait to check it out before too long. I finally got my A/C lines installed the other day, but still need to recharge. Took a short drive and found out the swivel seal hose end on my new oil return line started leaking. So, I had to put my old one back on for the time being. Hopefully I'll have everything finished up by the end of the month and can start driving it again so we can get some kind of meet planned out

dang that sucks! Leaks are my biggest pet peeve My bad luck seems to be with the swivel seal ends. Right now Im just using the original oil drain line I had which I used push lok hose and fittings, but I havent had a chance to test it out other than idle for a few minutes. Ive just got to get another 45 degree -10 hose end and hopefully that solves the issue with my new braided line. Im hoping to scrounge together a few bucks for a new AB speed catch can as well in the next week or so. Im also planning to buy one of the oil filter adapters with a sensor port from SOS when they are available so I can get a more accurate oil pressure reading and clean up my oil feed situation, but that may be later on depending on price. Funds are tight right now unfortunately
