Another Hall's deal!!!
Wow, halfway down the page now.. we're slacking!
I got my fender/liner fixed and reinstalled so that the car is drivable now. Took it around the block and started tweaking the tune.
So far I've found that I need some colder plugs (knew that already) and that it comes into boost FAST. A 50% throttle roll in 5th gear shot me up to 7 lbs (what my spring in the wastegate is rated at) QUICKLY. Much quicker then I expected. The tune isn't real solid yet, so I got out of it quick, didn't expect that to happen so fast.
Beyond the new custom body redecoration and nasty tune, it's coming along... few more warm weeks and I might be able to get the tune dialed.
How's everyone else's winter projects going?

Blake, any rough estimates on rwhp? I would say comparing it to my 8 psi on a twin screw, you should be in the very high 400's maybe low 500's. Is that what you were thinking? BTW, 281 c.i. + 8 psi = 466rwhp on my ford (stock everything). Larger engine with more efficent blower should net much more numbers that what i had.

It'd only be a few hundred more than what i've got into my current one
I'd say he's WELL into the 500's, being as he was low 400's NA last year

I'm adding ~14 lbs to that. I'm expecting high 500s out of it, maybe ~600. Anything 550 or over I'm happy.
Ohh, i thought that you were gonna run a 7psi tune. Dont be snippy! LOL,, I was thinking that at 14 psi it comes out to 2x the amount of n.a. h.p that you have at the crank
Chris, how could i make the hitlist? I've got nothing then a stock head stock block street legal tire car! So, do i know this person? And what car do they drive?
