Cracked on Friday13th !
#11
Lol, yeah I called my girl after I did the boost leak check and it was good. I said, well the about covers the simple fixes. Not looking good.
I was very happy to see the cracked manifold, thing is it's always had a little header/gasket leak on both sides, but after a few minutes running it seals up.
Any case, I had a local bud help me out a local shop down the road. Can't beat some last minutes tig work on crusty old headers. You guys forget this is a RST, i don't have no stock headers to toss on, these came stock.
I'll get them on here in a bit. Plan is to hit our local 8th I never hook at tomorrow lol. I was at a hooking track last night, 1.51 and a 1.52 with no power to getting out back side of the 60.
As to dyno, don't temp me, I have a feeling the curve would be a lot different now. Ow well, the track will tell the truth.
Ended up having two runners cracked.

Lol why you need a lottery ticket Tim, looks like you already have 4 vehicles! You can only be in one at a time man!
As for performance, I can say it's good to be back on the boost train. As for stock or JBA, it's likely the same or very very close. Which ever one seals with head and downpipe the best is my bet. As for my rig, i'm pretty much starting the tune from scratch as I been making changes to fix what is now taken care of so everything was off. Plus I had a few things I wanted to work on anyways, so spend about 2 hours tuning on some back roads. Needs about an hour of tweaking tomorrow and I should be ready to rock and roll again.

Thanks guys, she's back! I'm kind of interested in getting it setup on 18psi and 35 shot like it was on the dyno. The track tonight isn't best by a long shot, but if I can hook it that 747tq should roll out. I think coming off a 3400 2step and spray at 3800 once she's started rolling might work nicely.
