I've seen this beast in person! Doesn't sound terrible either
Noise wise it is bearable. The fumes however are a different story. I'll just chalk it up under the hotrodding lifestyle.
This afternoon I'm going to put some serious miles on if my little oil leak is taken care of. I think I have it nailed down. I tightened some slightly loose 10mm bolts on the vanos cover. One might be stripped and not from me tighting... The PO did some weird things so this didn't surprise me. Anyways, we will see how the garage floor looks!
It sees boost to 5psi. I got on it last night on an on ramp. She got scary in 2nd 7/8 down to the floor @ 3800rpm. I let off at 4500 and just started laughing! I'm trying to ease this thing in!

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.
