You'll hear me long before you see me!
You should take this to the LMT Fall Dyno Days. Should be broken in and tuned by then, right?
When is this?
Nice
Thanks!
In for a video!
I don't think my phone knows how to upload vids...

Garage pic.
Wednesday I should be dropping off the car at the exhaust dude's shop. I might have him make me a catch can with 12AN fittings custom fit to the battery tray. After I get the CCV sorted I'll tackle the oil leak coming from the vanos cover(that's where I think it is at least).

What wheels do i spy?
They are ESM 004. They were on the car when I bought it. My style 5s will be on soon. Polished lip, gold centers but what to do with the bolts?? Polish them or paint them gun metal? So many ideas, not enough time.
looks like ESMs
Do you have a wideband/ AFR gauge?
I have a PLX gauge but I need to get a new "brain". I fried mine.

It is a ton of fun! I don't know how to upload a video to the forum. I'll get one one on Instagram. Follow @drleadfoot.
I'm getting boost creap at 5000 rpms with a 5lbs spring. I think the manifold is flowing too well to maintain low boost. Up I go! 12-15lbs spring today.
I have 350 cop free miles on the car so far. At 500 I will change the oil and "try" to baby it to 1000. Probably will run 5w-30 Mobil, AMS or Royal Purple synthetic.

Oil argument starting now. Royal Purple HPS!! not the API stuff.

very very nice! That must be really exciting! The afrs look nice and stable/consistent too. What psi is this at?
Thanks!! You have no idea on how nervous I was!
The afrs were so rich most of the time they flat lined at the bottom. There is some tuning to do but TRM probably runs their tunes super rich due to lawsuits. I'll see what they have to say Monday. Or I might just put more boost on it!
I had a 15lbs spring in the waste gate. I'm going to run that until I sort out my high rpm issues.

It was a great day! I was almost turning green in the face when it was the moment of truth.

I gapped my plugs from .030 to .025. Hopefully this will help the cause. They all looked the same except for cylinder #1 which was a little oily. #ohgod
I'm guessing that it is due to a lack of CCV and pressure is building up at the front of the motor because the stock CCV is as big as a pencil.
I'm dropping off the car on Monday to get the exhaust work done.
