Made some positive changes
Made a few changes to the truck that feel really good on the street 
. Changed the exhaust housing on the turbo from 1.28 to a 1.01. Now I can stall it up ~ 4/5 lbs with no problem. The new 3200 Yank converter may be helping also, it feels really good and has very good street manors.
Now I have boost pretty much anytime I want it.
Also changed the spark plug wires because I have a couple that have issues with heat. Anyone needing some wires stock size or custom, Google LIVE WIRES. They are super nice, I think they claim up to 1200* protection. And come in about 4 colors and each one is numbered on both ends. I have relocated my coils so I measured each one called them up...about 2/3 days I had new wires. And they fit perfectly!!!
Maybe I can make it to the track soon, we'll see how it does.

yeah, I have to be even more careful ...it's more fun to drive...i can't keep my foot out of it
I feel like it's up to the new Yank converter now...it might have a low 10 in it with some cool air. I could always turn up the boost a little

Since I changed to the smaller AR housing 1.28 to 1.01, it is great I have plenty of power anytime i want it. It is a GT-42 and before the change I had trouble building boost, I could not hold the brake hard enough to get any boost. It would come on, but I never could leave already in boost. Now that won't be a problem. It will be a few weeks before I can get to the track to really find out how much difference this makes. I'm expecting some good sixty foot times.
