Very happy with the way the car is coming out. It looks like tomorrow it will get a new tranny mount and after that we wait for the axles to arrive. In the mean time A whole new little things coming.

yes sir. The only reason I added a 2nd BOV is because I started having throttle control problems at higher boost. Air had no way (not enough) of escaping so it pushed the thottle open and the car would stay accelerated after I let off. It would only happen at higher boost. I tried fixing it by putting a stronger spring on the throttle but it didnt really fix the problem. After many tries and checking for everything I could think of, a friend of mine told me he had the same problem and they fixed it with an extra BOV, so I am going to give it a try. Lets see what happens

I ran it at 12psi for a long time with no problems. raised it at around 16 and started having the throttle problem. The hp that i want I will only reach at much higher psi though. I will be taking it to the 1/4 mile to have some fun and show some folks we can make some good numbers on straight lines too. the car will be tuned at around 25psi.
