If I could find a 3.4 Camaro intake I'd try it, but I think I need to go back to the dual tbs on my existing intake. At 10psi it pulled well, then fell on it's face at 4k+rpm. Just not nearly the free revving machine it was.

Just waiting for some gas, then I'll fire up the tig!

Update: I've been having wastegate problems. I plumbed the damn thing backwards! It's oscillating. Well, live and learn.

The good part is it pulls hard again! I had multiple issues with boost leaks and exhaust leaks pre turbine. It sure spools now!!!

The intake change did cost me some flow, but not nearly as much as I had thought.

Hopefully I'll have her RIGHT soon! Then, autocross!

Well, I finally got her working pretty well. The boost is pretty solid at 8psi. She goes pretty good.

I think I'm a little lean, so there's some tuning to do, but it's getting pretty damn good.

Pulls out past 5k, really nice between 3 and 5k on boost.

So, I had to get some data. I downloaded dynolicious for the wife's iphone, got a load of groceries, and with the wife, and the groceries, went for a run.

 

It was really rainy, not the best environment. I had a ton of wheel spin on takeoff, and kinda half assed it, then gave up in 4th 'cause I felt like I was pretty fast for conditions.

 

It ended up being a 15.4 at 97mph. Not bad for such a horrible run.

 

I'm looking forward to a dry day!!
