If there is any 'dropping off' of power up top, I think it would just be more noticable now that the midrange hits harder, .... you can probably solve a bit of that with some tuning of the boost controller.

Cool appreciate the feedback. The profec has a learning deal that from what I have read is supposed to be better. I just need to find time and room to open it up time after time in 3rd and 4th. I still have it set a bit too high. I hit 16.8psi on the way home while Gilbert and I did a speed run. Still figgering the damn thing out.

BIG TIME thanks again Sean for installing the boost gauge... & thanks Mike, Ed, Jay...

I didn't end up getting too busted being late for the baby shower, either!!

Going up H2 the gauge hit 1.3 and the engine cut twice as i had WOT... guess i gotta turn it down a bit...

i'm not that sensitive & can't tell the difference... but that might be becuz i'm afraid of holding WOT... or that i'm afraid to speed..

Some damn day, tho, i'll make it to the tracks and jus get a baseline of my car & u know i'll need ya to see what it's supposed to do vs. what i can do...
