....and traction is going to be a problem
I started to crank up the boost tonight. I'm running between 12 and 13 psi now. Tried to do me a practice 4wd launch and the truck started hopping sideways 
I never EVER thought traction would be a problem with 4wd and 33" tires. Yikes! I may actually have to learn how to launch this thing instead of just putting the pedal to the floor

DAMN IT CHRIS...get some Dyno numbers before you give me blue *****!!!
That's awesome man! Are you breaking loose after brake boosting or on a soft launch right when the boost starts to kick in?

Weather permitting I may be at the track tomorrow night. Figures the ONE FREAKING WEEKEND it's supposed to rain in Phoenix, I want to go to the track on Friday night and there's a GTO cruise scheduled for Saturday. Lame.
Julien - I broke loose on a brake-stalled boosted launch. I popped my foot off the brake as soon as I saw 8 psi on the gauge, and it started torque steering real bad, then hopping, then I started going sideways! I let out right away since it felt like really really bad axle hop and I didn't feel like breaking anything.

Keep up the good work, I'll let Rex know, it will make him proud that he's built an engine that will self park a car into tight spaces!!
Oh and how are you supposed to buy new parts if you don't break things?
Congrats man that is very impressive and sounds like alot of fun!!
