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

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?

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.
