I did that originally. It was the only place that I could find that could give me access to it if I needed to replace it or try to make adjustments with that dam little screw underneath. I hope it was/is a good place for it.

Nope, only changes have been the injectors and pumps. I have, however, experienced some serious pressure anomalies at my power level and have parked the car awaiting a return style conversion. I just don't trust the lack of pressure monitoring anymore and I trust it will be much easier to tune with a dead consistent base and in-boost pressure.

This is long overdue. A few of you touched base with me about the build - thanks. The car/engine is great! Shardul, Brooke and John did a great job with this build. They went out of their way to make sure the build was proper. The engine is very stout and I know it will last. It just pulls and pulls!
Thanks to Steve at Weistec for the dyno tune!
The end result, at 15 pounds of boost ,was 580 rwhp and 590 rwtq (if I remember correctly), at 11.3 AFR on 91. Steve respected by wishes and gave me more conservative tune (and because 91 octane is highest I can get).
The car still has the 80tb and the EC mid headers. Let me get used to the car, then I will add the 82tb and the LTH, which should bring me over 600rwhp. I was thinking of the 90tb but I am finding out there could be some DD driviabilty issues with the 90tb, so will use the current 80 and then later switch to the 82.
I will later add the meth (just for cooling).

Thanks and I hear you. After a few months, I will change my mind and be more aggressive. Right now, I need new tires.
