    I think the best I did was right around 55 and now I'm lucky to do 45...:biggrin_2555:. I must have hit the wrong number if I put 60 in there?
    How much boost you pulling?

    I'm only getting 25-26lbs.

    Heck, leave her like that! Just keep an eye on all your gauges and know when to get out of it.

    For the record in case I haven't mentioned it... Tony Welch has helped me a great deal!

    To much of a PIA, his words...:biggrin_2559:
    I've tried to get him to move over this way, get a garage going, there's plenty of business.
