How much boost is it making?

Yeah there was going to be a bunch of video on Saturday... shoulda done it earlier! :mad:

Boost hasn't exceeded 10 psi, which is a little lower than we expected. The same pulley made 14 psi without the intercooler on Don's 69 Camaro prior.

Maybe that Treadstone IC isn't up to the task? :question:

The numbers are there...it should do the job. Perhaps the head gasket was going sooner than you thought?

Yes 1500cfm should do it.... so I dunno.... would a bad rusty head gasket cause the boost to not as high? Are those things related?

When you're hangin' out @ the shop next, tell Logan (He's the new guy) his buddy Matt says Hi. He'll be hanging out with you in Pleasanton too.

tones2SS 11-11-2009 08:18 AM

Hope the problem gets resolved quick and all is well so you can hammer that bad boy.
GOOD LUCK!:thumbsup:

Flash, because it was late, you blew a gasket and its true, geography does affect what people post sometimes, I give you a free pass for posting a vid of Chevy Chase.

Apparently he thought he was an actor at one time?

Hey Matt. I did meet Logan briefly when I was there with my dad a few weeks ago. Looking forward to Pleasanton!

Oh, I seen I've stumbled upon a whine and cheese party. This thread would've been tougher to find then Jimmy Hoffa if not for posts by a certain maligned pro bono PR guy.

Got a good phone call from Jason late this afternoon that the motor is back together and running. All should be well again. Our dyno tune appointment for this evening was strangely canceled by the shop, but we are trying to hit another one close by tmrw before we all roll out to Pleasanton. Looking forward to cruising with Mike P and Jason in their sweet 1st gens down to the show. Been waiting for this weekend for years! :woot:

Yep we are inside in the Young California building all weekend next to the Gearhead Garage booth and their stunning 69 Camaro display car. I didn't wanna park my car too close to it! :lol:

If anyone is around stop by and say hello! :cheers:

Here is the crew getting some gas heading out of Sac today on our way to Pleasanton. Jason's sweet magnacharged LS2 stroker Vert behind me.

Forget the Chevelle, I want pics of '69 CAH-MARE- ROWS! :mad:

Just look for guys with this special glow. A '69 Camaro should be nearby.

Thanks for the good words guys. It was a great weekend.

One of the highlights was hearing Mary Pozzi say so many nice things about my car. She is such a classy gal and has seen a million nice Camaros (in addition to her own!) and that was a pleasure to chat with her for a bit. So fun to watch her auto-x too! I was surprised to win the Cool Camaro award too, but I sure will take it! :)

For the sake of the Redundancy Department of Redundancy, there are a bunch of pics I posted in my thank you to Gearhead thread earlier, and 2 of my faves here below. Enjoy.

Now toss in a couple of Harley headlights --- and give the front an "updated" without changing things look... Saw some cars at SEMA with them - and they're bad azz.

Love the color!
