mmm...probably.
We figure we'll be fine to 22ish on pump gas, right now its a peak of 14.9psi...the wastegates are as low as they can go.
You figure these wheels don't start humming until the 18-22psi range. Plus I am hitting a spark blowout issue where peak power should occur.
In the end we'll find out.

The car has shown a few headaches.
1)MSD died while washing it, oh well...that is resolved.
2)Crank end seal decided it didn't like to keep oil in the motor. Thankfully that was caught under cruising and is being fixed right now (just got back to the shop, car was on a flatbed, yay!).
The best 60 miles yet, I am staying in it, she'll eventually just give up and coroperate.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
It seems to me that the soon to be GOOD will alleviate all of the bad that has occured. Good Luck!! Maybe I'll swing by on Thursday afternoon and try to get a ride? I guess only time will tell.

All back together, waiting for the rtv to set up and chasing down a coolant leak.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
woot! It runs again.
We turned it up to 20psi and there is still plenty left on the table as far as boost on pump is concerned. However, we are tired and going home now  ...its "fast enough" for having 75 miles on the setup.
hmm...the gallery seems to be down. I'll put it on my cardomain page.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
I saw the car today... It is honestly what I'd consider an ultimate street car. Didn't have a ride, but I sat in it when it was running. There's something cool about actually feeling the engine idling, or trying to, with lumpy cams.
