You're not going to blow it up running 11:1 NA, just drive it up there....

tow it!!!!!

run to lean and break ----.

run to rich and wash down cylinders.

out of boost, you should be no richer than 13.1 or there wil be extra fuel soaking the cylinder walls.

Well i'm running in the 11's but that is the reading off of the stock O2, I haven't hooked up my LC-1 yet because chris said he would help me iwth it because i don't know what the voltage setting should be in freelog, Also when i have my wideband hooked up and running, i need to kill the O2 sensor on my bin right?

yeah i'm going to drive like an old lady up there, i'm going to try and keep it under 3.8k rpms even thought it did jump up to 4.8 last night.But i think it will be good. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. I'm also goign to try and get a boost controller before i head up there so we can turn it up to like 15#'s, but i'm not sure if i want to street tune with that amount of boost, prob just do 9 and then after i get some milage on the motor we'll head out to the dyno and max this 18G out before i set up to a better setup.

You can tow it on the NJ Parkway. Its when your car brakes down on the Parkway that you have to use one of the three tow companies.

Jesus, who let all the nancy pants in? Its not going to blow up just driving it normal for 50m on a base map. :1
You need to run MUCH richer than 13's for longer than 50m to even remotely impact the walls/rings.
"OMG take off a charge pipe! if it hit ANY boost un-toonerobied it will blow up" :1
Hitting 2 or 3 psi in normal driving WHILE in the 15's or 16's A/F isnt going to melt the fucker down either.

Hope it goes well.
And yes the :1, is dierected at any TurboD16 members, hahaha
