I got a wrench thrown into my plans. I am going to be out of town almost all of next week for work. Thanks for giving me like 3 days notice. Craig is gonna try and help get my car to the dyno so Shane can tune it the rest of the way. I will be back Friday night, so we'll have to see what happens.

My car is going back to Elite in the morning. Hopefully the boost creep is reasonable now and we can dyno all the way to redline. I should know more tomorrow after the car gets dyno'd (I am by Madison, so Craig is taking the car to Shane).

I hope all goes well. I can't wait to get some high-res video of that thing at the track!

Yeah I got JETs car all back together yesterday, it started right up with no leaks. It was idling like shit (3300rpm) but I found a hose the didn't get hooked up after the head was put back on. Once I put that hose on it dropped down to about 1500 or so.

I took it out so I could get a few heat cycles on it before I retorque the head studs. It was still boost creeping a little bit but not as bad as before I don't think. At most I saw about 21lbs on the street at about 5500 rpms I am guessing. I didn't want to rev it all the way since I hadn't retorqued the headstuds yet.

We will see what happens on the dyno. I am going to let it go as far as 30lbs or so, if it creeps past that then something else has to be done to get the boost creep to go away.

I'm going to watch not race. My car didn't make the power I wanted, it has a couple issues and needs to go back on the dyno for more tuning. As it sits right now, it will probably run a low 12 with a decent launch and quick shifts, maybe high eleven with a great launch and good shifts and a strong tailwind. :rolleyes:

I am going to hook up NLTS and see how that works tonight.

I need an afpr, intake, cams, head and some horsepower.

Where are we meeting and when?

A fair warning: Highway 20 was crawling with cops today so when ya'll roll off of I-35 to Hwy. 20 it would probably be best to take it easy.
