all seems well.. gave it hell one more time.. upped the boost to 40psi .. it feels strong as hell.. cant wait to get it down the track. id like 130mph+ but we will see.
most likely i will need to shift into 5th gear though unless i set the rev higher but i know thats alittle risky on a 2.3L to rev past 8500.
ill be running on my bridgestone potenza RE11's. (street tires)
I think uhaul gave us the ****tiest trailer they own!
Not driving it down because its a 7 hr drive and if id bust a axle or something leaving at 6k rpm on the launch id end up paying $600 to get towed home. Plus the additional mileage on the engine just isnt worth it.. not to mention tire wear etc.

its about 620 or so at 40psi.. all the more boost is gonna do is spike the torque. at 40psi it read 580wtq before 4500rpm.
the wastegate actuator preload will not allow to hold boost past 32psi so its not gonna make full power.. whatever the hp/tq is capable of its gonna make.. this cars setup and ready to roll.
im leaving now - but id like to warn those who have the Zaklee clear timing cover.. mine was all but cracked in half! if that were to crack and fall apart it could eat your timing belt.

Just though I would thread jack for a second and tell everyone that I have been testing the FP BB Black for 4 months now and absolutely love it. I was told today that I can release the news. FP will have the BB turbos on their website next week. It will be half the price of Owen upgrades and twice as good.
