I got almost all the bugs i was having worked out today, so i decided to take the car to work. This was my first drive really since it is now back together. All i can say is I haven't ran it extremely hard yet... still little leary for now....lol.. I but i will say it has the power it had before, only now its at half throttle. I never thought there would be this big a difference.

I still have a little bit of a searching idle problem, but i will get it figured out. I also have a fluctuation in my fule pressure some how... I set the fule pressure to 38 vacuum off, so i tighten the reg back down etc., and when i looked at the gauge after the car warmed up i had almost 40 PSI with the vacuum line hooked up... What would cause this?

I also seem to have a torn motor mount.... go figure, it was still a blast to drive even with all these little issues. .... a vid will be put up in here by tomm.

Jason, glad to hear it is comin along nicely.

On the FP, how is your vac signal to the reg? Is there any chance the vac is not reaching the FPR? Otherwise, I cant think of why the idle pressure exceeds the sim'd WOT setting. A vac issue could play into an idle issue too.

Anyhow, good luck with the finishing touches!

Thanks man.... i know i don't have a leak, cause i ran ALL new lines today and put clmaps at every connection before reinstalling the intake, The regulator on the car is a Paxton, i have a kirban i am putting on, i am thinking the paxton is messing me up b/c it is for boost. but thats only a guess
