Did some more tuning on the car today and got the WOT air fuel a fairly constant 11.0:1. With 1 bar wastegate springs, the car is running 17-18 psi. and absolutely flys! It took me five minutes to quit shaking after the first full run. Now it's time to line up against the old man's Z06 to see how it fares against 80 cubic inches of weed whacker fury! I'll see if I cant get a video or two of some WOT passes. The car sounds awesome at 8000 rpm with the gilmer belt and open air wastegates screaming. I've been getting quite a few WTF looks when cruising to the tuning spot, especially from a guy cruising a 69 firebird. I'm loving it!

Video of 2nd and 3rd gear pull at 18 psi. I shifted out at around 7750 rpm. Lost the data trend on this one because it threw the laptop back and yanked out the USB cable when the boost hit.
