5 years, 3 motors, 2 superchargers, carbed, fuel injected, and now a turbo. I think YOU had a case of turbo lag.
Isn't there something in the clause that says DONE.
Leaving for Vancouver tonight. Blues dyno is scheduled for Thursday at 3pm, and hopefully will be bringing her home Thursday or Friday.

Right on, that should be a fun little trip for you.

Well just got back from getting Blue from Corksport. What a long drive from Vancouver to Spokane.
Well, the end results Corksport Dyno'd my car last night, and it dyno'd at 303hp. I think it was set at 10psi at 6000 or 7000rpms, but they didn't want to push it anymore because I have fuel delivery problem, most likely due to having the stock 79 fuel tank still. I will be changing that out this weekend to a GSL SE tank. Car is running very rich until fuel probs can be fixed.
Derrick said he will do a little more tuning if I can get the fuel problems figured out. He said the turbo is capable of 20psi, reaching about 440hp or more. I also have to change my racing beat exhaust to a straight 3 1/2 inch pipe with a magniflow muffler which will gain about 20%more.
At this point I think 303 is enough for me to get use to, then once I'm bored with that, I will up the boost. They put a ACT racing clutch in the car, and its so Stiffffff, you barely just let your foot up and your engaged...he he he he. This is going to take some time getting use to.
So over all I'm extreamly happy with Corksport
Note: I just took my first drive and I thought my Supercharger made noise... my first drive now turboed was an experience far greater than Ive experienced in all the changes with the supercharger that have been done. I must say Superchargers might work on V8's but Turbos kick *** in any application. Since I have experienced both superchargers and turbos, I am convinced by far that turbo is the way to go. I can't even describe the drive I just got done doing.
