So I have some things to catch up on. So the boost controller I bought is a Blitz SBC Spec R. I'm liking it. I hooked it up and mounted it inside the ash tray. Now when I close the ash tray you won't see it and when I open it the controller pops up. So when I put it up at 10 psi it cuts out. I couldn't figure out the problem. Everyone was saying I'm running lean. So I got an AEM Wideband. I finally ran the wires, hooked it up and mounted it. I went for a drive at 10psi...completely rich under boost but still breaking up. I was thinking it was spark plugs from the start so I did some searching, two days ago I bought some NGK 3330's gapped them to .026" and installed them. I took it for a spin. It was great. It ran full rich at 10 psi without breaking up.
So here is a picture of the Boost controller. I can't find the pics of the gauge. I bought a Lotek Dual APillar Pod for the wideband and boost gauges. It came in black so I painted it gray. Looks pretty good.

I like the ash tray install. I did the same thing with my turbo timer.
This car has come a long way since I saw it last.

Thanks Dave, I like the ash tray install too! I was driving a coworker home and this 335 with chrome rims was driving like an idiot. So I pulled out the ash tray to crank up the boost. My coworker was like, :love: WHOA COOL!!! Then I was like :evil2: *VROOOOoooomm ptssss* :biglaugh:

So mine has come a long way...now what about your black beauty??? :stickpoke
Hows my buddy Milo?

Wow I haven't posted in this thread in awhile!!! I've been so busy with moving from Philly to DC and back to Philly. So lately my car has been overheating. Has a brand new water pump, thermostat, and radiator. It leaks coolant from between the head and the block on the exhaust side. Its always done it but I think with the few times the fans not turning on or blowing up the radiators, the head gasket took a crap. So I ordered some new parts. I got a complete gasket set, ARP Studs, Gates Timing Belt, and a timing belt tensioner. All from Driftmotion(Thanks Aaron) I'm probably going to finally put those 440 injectors in. Pics to come soon

Friday evening I started taking apart the engine. Got the intake, rad, valve covers and the down pipe off. I was working in the rain after picking up my sister from school. The engine was all hot. The rain felt good. lol.

Saturday morning I got up and took off the turbo and exhaust manifold. Then I had to get to work. This morning I got the intake manifold, cams, timing belt and finally the head.
