    I'm hoping to take it to the dyno soon, but I need to get a new clutch first. The stock clutch didn't like 14psi and clutch drops. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
    I have been pretty busy so I haven't had time to mess with the car at all. My mom was in town and my brother just got married.

        one of the problems Im having while dynoing radcat's car is the speed limiter, Im not quite sure yet how Im gonna bypass it , gotta play with some resistors ;) lol and the VSS.

        the limiter shuts down teh car at a low rpm so I can't get a full pull out of it to get accurate results in 4th gear. still though what we got is great for the conditions.

          I figured as much ( Tiago ). Jana: Ive stated to the club that I plan on buying a Trans Am as a beater and having a Turbo 3.8 Project car. =) But I got what I was looking for

          Holy crap. 14 psi =) I thought the Kit was running 10 psi =). Thats so awesome. hehe

          /me = happy and can't wait to see this bad boy in action.

          I know we keep saying soon. But any ballpark ( definitly not something to hold as a time frame) Idea when u guys are gonna call the kit complete?

                      O yes. As I say to my bank account as I attempt to fill it. We 3.8 are driving the best engineered, strongest, and most capable V6 on the road. To unleash its glorious power, and vast potential will be reached only when we sease to have imaginations. As of now... Imagination is on a roll =D 14psi 4 life 3.8 =D Omg

                        I have run more than 14 :D
                        I just took my boost controler off so I wouldn't turn it up anymore. It sure is easy to keep going higher. My car feels slow now, since I'm only running 7psi [img]tongue.gif[/img]

                            I'd say the grand national is the best 3.8, but i don't want to rain on your parade.

                              I have to save some $$ and get a turbo kit. :D I would really like to see a price range for it. 14 psi [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] That's damn good! Will it run that amount of boost over long periods of time?

                              Hey Radcat, I've been having trouble getting onto cofba, I noticed you post there a lot. It won't let me sign in to post for some reason. Do you have any idea what it could be? I emailed them months ago. :( Are they having any problems or is it just on my end?
