It runs great..I have the timing locked at 16/18 degrees so it doesnt ping under boost and drives like stock until you hit...lol

Do you still have the PCV? If so, that breather on the oil fill tube is causing a vacuum leak.

Other than that, looks great!

It's worth a shot. No need for it to be there, really.

Thanks Guys...I put the small filter being that the car is pushing 9 psi i know the car will build up crank case pressure so i wanted an escape route, i see alot of guys running them that way...Thought what the hell...lol...seems to run great!!!!! I love the old school look hey i was 17 when the GT came out so brings me back to when i wanted one....I also have a 90 GT 5spd!!! I love these cars...

Great looking car! I have the same exact one except mine is 88...same color and all. Any advice you'd give me because I want to throw a small supercharger in as well...

That's the cleanest set of turbines I've ever seen, hands down. The car is looking good!

Get the check valve kit from Vortech to be used with speed density and lock the timing with spout out like 16-18 degrees and go have fun...lol...Run autolite 24's gapped at .032 run good gas and she should be ok
