haha, yea well I wish I had the patience to let the car sit, and do all the work at once. the last time I drove the car more then once a week, was in JULY of last year, lol. thats when it started acting up, and my son was born, and my work cut me back to half the hours I normally work.


it was super stressful times.

but now everything is leveled back out, and im just ITCHING to get it back on the road.

but a 6pt roll bar will go in soon, racing seats if I can swing the funds, and install the rest of the nice nitrous kit

but I would like to drive the car a lot this year. I only drove it about 1,000 miles last year the year before that I put 10,000 on it, lol

I never hooked up the EGT with the turbo set up after I got the wide band but I may hook it back up. Yep, something strange is gone on that is for sure. I really think I am on it with the back pressure thing I HOPE LOL. I guess the next thing it will be gone to a dyno if it happens again within a year. I have one a guy said he would rent me for 75 hr plus 150 for him to strap it down.

sounds like you got enough knowledge to figure it out, just a matter if finding that little gremlin.

if I had the funds and skill to build a car like yours, I would be happy to let it sit and take two years to build.

that thing is going to be one of a kind when its done. it will shock people when you pop the hood, and still haul ***.

haha, true that. I would probably use a transmission jack with anything else. my shoulders are getting to screwed up to keep doing that kinda crap.
