cannot make over 10 psi of boost

or you could mount two water/air intercoolers in each fender in front of the tire! or re-map the EFI and run E85 and full boost, sans IC... mut the water/meth injection is propably the best and quickest fix

I think the easy thing to do for now is bypass the intercooler, build new custom pipes up to the throttle body, and keep the present intercooler in place in case I sell the car in the future and the guy can live with the lower boost.

I'd go E85 if it was readily available out here, but it's not. There's one place supposed to be opening up this month, but I want to do Power Tour and longer cruises, so unless they get a good network of E85 stations out here I have to stick with pump gas.

Jody,

Sorry kinda off topic but I was wondering what kinda of HP does it have a 12 psi (or current state) and what would you expect at 18 psi? No other reason than curiosty...I am guessing it is BIG POWER

12 psi feels like 700-750 hp. 17-18 psi should be 1000+ hp.

Thanks, it was strictly for my purposes.

that's actually sad but true Troy. It's stupid that 700 hp feels pedestrian.................

Well at least you got to the bottom of it! So there's no way of fitting a proper size IC or two?

LOL, tell me about it... that's why my ball bearing PT-61s should be here next week, the extra 125hp/150 ft-lbs or so over the Procharger at the same boost level are badly needed.

I think there is something seriously wrong with both of us.

Jody,
Is this car going to be sold before the 2009 power tour? Sounds like you have buyers lined up...tell Charley to wait. Is the car going to be at Sema? You built one hell of a hot rod! I can't wait to see what you build next...besides the 2nd gen camaro. Fantastic job
