I'll take a video tomorrow folks!
Just got home from dinner and was hoping for a new map so I could start getting my idle and throttle transition issues taken car of and also start really tuning for 9 psi. But no map in the old inbox .
Oh well. Good Christ this thing is fun to drive now! I can't even WOT in first gear because I just spin and that's from a 15mph roll!

Not to mention how much you learned along the way.
Can't wait to see the new vid.
Congrads!

Yeah man. To be honest, I was a little disappointed when I first took her out when I was at 4 psi. I mean, it was fast and fun, but it just wasn't furious. I had been staying optimistic, knowing that 4 psi on that big GT30 was like using a thoroughbred for county fair pony rides, but like I said, it really wasn't knock-your-socks-off-***-kickin' fun. But now, it's all worth it. Every penny, every busted knuckle, every night I got 3 hours of sleep, hell, even every argument it caused. It's fast, it's loud, and it's smells like horsepower and engine when I park it. I love it.
Neither momma nor my daughter have ridden in it with the new setup yet. I did boost a little in 1st gear with my daughter in the car (only up to 35mph), and her scream of "Whooooaaaahhh!!!" while frantically grabbing for something to hang on to was priceless! I'm going to have my wife video a drive tomorrow. I'm going to have her video while she feels the boost kick in, so hopefully her first reaction to it will be caught on tape!

It's going to be awesome. I've noticed a couple things now with the higher boost. My BOV sound has changed - which makes sense as it's relieving more pressure - and the turbo spool sounds like it has two stages. You hear a "pshhhhhhhhhhh-tchaPSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" now that is simply divine!

Hey foos I just thought of something I wanted to ask you.
I don't know if it's been covered but can you run race fuel with this set up or would that be pushing it for this engine, and if so my guess is you would need to re-tune right?

One more uploading right now. Had to reinstall Pinnacle and tweak a little dead space out of it. She's still got a leak. I'm about to go outside and do some cuttin' and weldin' to fix the angle to relieve the stress that's causing the leak.
