    Living with the Random Technology High Flow Catalytic Convertor

    Nobody in the USA is exempt from emission. Living in an area that doesn't have a high population density and pollution and as such no emission test doesn't mean it is lawful to remove the catalyst from the vehicle. Just FYI.

    450 hp set up ?

    450 rwhp will be at or over the limit on the 550s. You are correct. If you haven't yet purchased the pistons have them done at 9.5:1 compression. It gets you more power on and off boost with faster spooling. Make sure the machine shop cc numbers for the chamber is sent if you don't have the...

    Power steering issue, replaced rack and pump, need help

    Do a pressure test. The shade tree way is to disconnect the pressure line at the rack and point it into a bucket. Have your buddy start it and you will find out quickly if you have a pumping problem or a rack problem.

    head coming off soon, thinking about cams

    87 NA-T Swap Troubles.

    You have a mixed bag. That is the symptom of an intake leak which leads to 34 (abnormal turbo pressure) but you didn't list it. If you have 11, and not a constant flashing, get it fixed first. Did you drill holes in the block for the oil feed?
