Default 408 report

runs great, fired right up, no smoke at all, no funny sounds at all, no leaks.

put about 150 easy miles on it and then started rolling into the boost and tuning it. with the boost controler off i see 8psi and we are tuned up to that point.

breakdown on how it feels, GREAT!! at 8psi(pump gas) it feels as strong as tht 4.8 at 20psi with the one exception that it completly rips out of the hole. the boost seems to be directly controled by the pedal position now. i get a small amount of 4 wheel spin out of the hole and then it levels out and just pulls nicely. looking at efilive i was bumping 60lb's of air at 20psi on the 4.8 and am bumping 60lb's of air now at 8psi on the 408. it pulls very smoothly right up to 6000rpm.

probably wait till i have 500 or so miles on it before i turn up the boost any higher.
