cranked it up today and went for a ride...Everything works great and the motor/sc runs extremely cool! The cooler weather is a part of that though.

Sweet man!

There's always a weird noise somewhere, that's why you need a loud radio!

I mean weird as in not a good sound...Sounds like something in the head maybe? But I remember bottoming out pretty pad and the noise started thereafter so maybe its something to do with exhaust

Hope it's an easy fix and nothing serious. Best of luck figuring it out!

So everything is done and now it's time to get tuned! Getting tuned this Saturday with my buddy Joe (SherrodMustang). Going to see what we can put out with both of our cars. Both highly modified and hoping to put down some nice numbers.

I got my oil pan leak fixed, coolant leak fixed, bmr lca's installed, new pulley, and all the other problems fixed. Been driving it for the past week now with no issues so should be 100% for dyno day!

I was only making 15psi with my 3" pulley so I just had to down size to a 2.5" to get my boost up. This thing is small!

Man I just read through this whole thread, it had everything lol. The crushing defeat, an inspirational hope of starting over, then the thrill of the chase for GODLY HP numbers, and now hopefully the walk away into the sunset with great numbers! Best of luck this weekend Brandon and Joe!!

For the love of god that pulley is small! Everything will work out for both of you guys like I told Joe you've waited long enough.

Brandon,

This is just my (Opinion) but one has to know when to Stop.
Unless a person just has virtually Un-Limited financial resources.

I hope you & Joe get what you are looking for Power-Wise on the Dyno.

Me, I'm going to actually drive mine this year as last year it was basically being worked on.

I'll be looking for the Extensive Videos & Posting from Saturday's Dyno Runs.

I agree. It was just a joke thought that I have with Joe. Boost is addicting and it is hard to say no. lol

I plan on driving mine this year too. Last year was mostly garage time.
