Default Procharger is in and running, WOW Thnks DCJUSTIN

First off I would like to thank Justin(DC_JUSTIN) for helping me out on a few issues I had. He is a great guy.. Thank You. He sent me up a tune to get started. After getting the few issues resolved, It fired right up. I have put a few miles on it, havn't beat on it, but half throttle, this thing is a monster. I want to my logging done, back to him so he can fine tune it, dial it in, before I beat on it.. It is crazy what 8-10psi can do for a motor, even at part throtle, can't wait to do a WOT pull. I still need to get a a/f gauge in, hook up my boost gauge, also figure out what to do on venting the crankcase, caltracs, but other then that it is done. Next it heads to the body shop... I am tickled pink, it is awsome, glad I was able to get it done.. Thank you guys for all the info and help that was provided along the way. .. Now Ima have me a coctail

John

Congrats on getting it going. You will have to learn 1st gear throttle control. I love to throttle it off the line. Enough to just get the tires to complain a little and bark second gear .

Sweet! Congrats! What is the body shop doing to it? Also how much is the tune costing you?

Why don't you meet Justin in person to get your final tune?I'm over in DE and still get mine done in person.Then you know you have it the way you want,he'll work with you until your happy.
For my crankcase I did away with the pcv system and put a small filter in the valve cover hole where the pcv valve went and blocked other end on intake.Also on the passenger side cut and blocked off the valve cover breather tube.There is no conections between my crankcase and intake.I'm also running a filter for my oil fill cap[probably does 90% of the crankcase ventilation].

I just spoke with him on the phone, to discuss a few things, that is def what I want to do, meet him for a final tune, but my work is kinda funky, sooo, we will see. I think i fixed the problem. All I did was pull the hose running from the TB to the right valve cover, went for a drive, no oil anywhere. So I might pop a breather on it like you.. I take it me and you are running similar setup??
