What needle are you referring to.. your tach? If so, actual tach or AFC tach?

Nice setup btw, you should make that logo into a smallish vinyl for your rear side window.

True, the factory tachometer is the one.

That's a good idea about the logo...we'll see what happens.

You say that you are at 8spi then you hit the gas, this sounds like you are building 8 psi at 4K rpm at partial throttle...

Then your tach goes to 6K then 8K... Could you please be a little more detailed

does the car feel different when it does that? maybe theres a bad wiring connection somewhere.

holy ----. when you wanted to ------ rig something you just went ahead and called the ------s to do it. hahaha. :6

Questions:
what the hell was the reason for the oven and JB weld? didnt quite catch that one? To help it dry faster?

why a safc? you should have gotten a ecu from xenocron or someone...

-3psi, you arent really gaining anything...

Reason for the JB weld in the oven was indeed to let it dry faster, time being a huge constraint,we couldnt afford to wait overnite. Reason for the SAFC is because the car is an automatic obd2. Obd2-obd1 conversion, not only entails acquiring an obd1 ecu and conversion harness, but also an obd1 auto trans. All of which is much more work and money than just running the safc for now. Auto to manual swap is in the plans for next summer. All and all i must say it came out good,car is impressive on 3, cant wait to get the boost turned up. Guess its time I picked up a wideband, but I'm black, and cant afford that over my crack habit. NigFab FTW! :6
