I've taken it to 5 lbs of boost and that is where it goes lean. Hopefully tomorrow I will remedy this with the missing pieces to the carb. It runs great other wise. As soon as it runs nice and fat at boost I will post the vids.
The reason I've taken so long is because I was running out of car speding money. My wife keeps telling me to stop spending money on it, but I can't because I've come this far on it. Needs a few more things.
Shut up woman and get in the kitchen and cook me some dinner!

I drive it all over town and to work and I get zero problems with anything melting or being too hot under the hood. Even the engine stays at normal operating temperature. I may heatwrap in the near future. There is definitely still work to be done.

O yeah, I forgot to mention that I'm running on 93 octane with timing set at 32 deg. with the vacuum advance disconnected with a MSD boost timing master I got from a member here pulling 3 deg. per lb of boost. I will change that to pull less timing when I get the carb right.
