Lol... It'll definitely be done completely by then... The problem Nov 23rd is that its the day after my bday and I've got plans... Plus ill still be on 12hr nights...

I'm liking the fact that its quieter than it was n/a with headers and ORY through the same exhaust. Now it definitely sounds just like any other truck on the street... Can't even hear the cam lope anymore.... I guess I'm going to tune it on 6psi for now, then bump up to 9....

The springs don't always give what they say, i've seen a Tial 60mm WG with 15psi springs that wouldn't open till over 25psi. He ended up with a 5 psi spring and it got 9psi with it. It will vary depending on the exhaust back pressure and where you referenced the wb from (best is from the intake manifold it's self). To me is better it be low then high, cuz you can always turn it up with a cheap manual boost controller.

Don't know about getting it to the track, I'm working straight 12hr nights until I die I think... I'm hoping for some 11s still out of it....
