Also as far as outside temps go here in sc. Its almost always in the 90's starting spring. Come summer temps are typically in the low 100's. Around aug-sept.

That radiator i mentioned above is set up for plug and play and read the fans are rated at 1250cfm each.

I did get the 2nd oem fan with the car but i doubt it'll fit with the punishment o2 housing.

I know there are three gears listed. And to help the tranny I am thinking of leaving gears one and probably two at the 17psi.

And then just up gear three.

Forgot to quote this earlier. From what I've been told, 1st and 2nd you don't have to worry about breaking gears, it's the torque that breaks 3rd and 4th because of their placement in the transmission.

I guess maybe you are worried about synchros, and not breaking the gears? Just be nice when shifting and low 20's should be no problem.

I took the car to work last night. And on the way home was finally able to do an honest pull.

Boost gauge reached 22psi but not till higher revs. Around like 6,000

But the wideband was reading 10.5 for most of the pull.

I have never had a wideband before but I thought you want to the a/f to be around 12.1 correct?

My laptop is suppose to arrive tomorrow. Im going to park the car today and wait till I have my laptop before I drive it again that way I can log a full pull.

Yeah, 10.5 is very rich. Does it read leaner at idle and cruise? I am just wondering if the sensor is still good or not.

[SlowWhite]

At cruise it swings around 14.5. Also when I let off the gas it goes off the charts the guage just shows three dashes

[Halon]

yeah 10.5 is quite rich, but if you've never really compared the cars wideband to say a lab grade one on a dyno, it could be 1 AFR off for all we know and be actually running at 11.5 which would be fairly solid.

When in doubt, read the plugs.

[SlowWhite]

Color on plugs should be... light grey right? And this car has the buscher cop set up. Which yet again I've never had experience with cop setups. Do you just unbolt the hole plate and lift up? Or how do you take them off?

[JET]

Ewwww... COP. I have never had first hand experience with one that worked good. I have experience with a half a dozen that didn't work, 2 that I tried myself. They always broke up under boost, just like you are talking about.

Use a BFH, works really fast. :score009:
