Awesome. I'm glad it was a simple fix and just a slight oversight.

The TQ steer can be quite a problem once you get a bigger stall and can launch with serious boost. How is the front suspension setup on your truck? Can you lower the front pretty easy like me and Parish do for track duty? That will help keep you from spinning all 4 like Erik does. LOL

I'n some of my videos you can hear the front tires squeeling down the track.

Right now the suspension is completely stock. I've been debating on what to go with. I'm wondering about airbags so that I can lower it and raise it as necessary. At $1500 plus installed, I'm not sure... An FMIC sounds like money "better" spent! I need to lower mine at some point if nothing more than to get that 6" fenderwell gap out of there!

How are your setups done?

I'd get the FMIC first too.

Our 4wd trucks use torsion bars up front so we can simply turn the screws up or down on each side to raise or lower it as needed. I lower mine for track days about 1.25"-1.5" then raise it back up after the track. If I don't then well... You've seen that funny launch video I put up. Hahaha

Nothing wrong with your #'s. Can't wait to dyno mine again.

Rumor has it you're going with a bigger Turbo? Maybe you could slap the smaller turbo in there to spool up at about 1200rpm!!

Yep, my 67 seems to spool pretty quickly. My only problem is the 1600 or so factory stall. I need to get this slug in the 12's...

When does your boost come in? I've found that the way the boost comes in low on my Radix (not starting a Radix vs STS here!) has given me a free 2250 rpm stall on my H2 from the stock convertor. You might give yours a good street test and see more than the 1600.
