Allan: me neither, but i'll take it to it's limit, as Dr. Jonez did. (i have an r-154 in my garage awaiting installation for when i kill the w58)
Nash: i forget what the base fuel pressure is at now, actually. i'll find out when it stops raining.
Fuzz: yeah, it sounds pretty good, however, i get pinned to the wall with the rest of the "ricer" crowd due to the exhaust cannister, albeit, mine sounds way better than most around here. :? i'll be taking that can off and putting on a nice dual outlet muffler that's relatively quiet as soon as i get my cutout pipe and McCord powerplate so i can run open DP at the flick of a switch.
Nick: yes, i think the bigger AFM helps quite a bit. heh, right now, i'm using a stock toyota filter, with the entire face of the air box cut open. (so it basically just clips on like a ring to hold on the filter)

also, considering i have some chipped impeller blades, and shaft play, i'm satisfied with the numbers.
dirgle & Ian: thanks!
i love running open BIC DDP. it sounds glorious! there were probably 6-8 people standing there, near the dyno when i went up there. most of the crowd left when they saw my rustbucket backing up.

oh well. needless to say, the 6-8 people there backed quite a ways away from the dyno when i was getting near redline! it was pretty funny.
in the end, i'm glad everything worked out the way it did. it just gave me more motivation to go bigger and better.
oh yeah, and Nick, i'm getting a 57mm (not 57 trim) CT upgrade from jeff tamulis, with a single ball bearing cartridge in the front, floater in the back. built by jon at MDC. (already paid for half of it) it should support about 450rwhp, or thereabouts. (57mm is closer to the 60-1 i believe)
