Well...dyno day is on the way..so spend the day yesterday doing a few mods to the car.
turned the key and it fired right up..even after sitting for months..

after a few hours of welding and wiring i got to back the car out onto the road for some kick ass burn outs..
its really supprising how well that car hooks up..even with street tires...the whole time i had the tires turning i could feel the car trying its hardest to hook up..
its fun to watch the boost build as your baking the tires..and the blow off valve burn out gear shifts..and with no muffler and a tail pipe thats about 8\" long ya get allot of whistle off the turbo now..

LOL i know the car does not get out much..but it sure sounds cool

im gonna have to put some sand bags under the 1 peice front end ...trying to pull off a brake stand resulted in the car pushing the locked up front wheels down the road..

i dunno how much HP this car makes...but its gonna be dog eat dog on the dyno. if i can get 250 im happy..but who knows...

gonna try out 20 PSI of boost later today..got a spare set of pistions and cyls on the shelf just incase

does anyone get a prize for blowing the motor on the dyno?

got it, 3 pulls, you drive and I dont know about tune time in between, your vehicle is on a lift so I am not sure, I am sure you can do some tweaking

great. thanks for the info..
took the car out for a short trip today...then pulled the motor..tore it down..pulled the the heads..gave everything a check..found a few exhaust leaks that probably have allot to do with my boost problem.
swaped out the chorme tin for old stock DP tin with a flash of BBQ paint..looks show quality! ^_^

other than a little bit of water that had gotten into the oil and a few stains on the bottom sides of the cyls..
everything looked great for something that has been sitting so long.

im leaving town again in the morning..but in 2 weeks i will be back to get the motor back into the car start getting it dialed in.

maybe we will get luck and have a nice cool but not raining dyno day.
