Good eye.

I would hate to see him blow the welds on the intake manifold. He'd have to get together with the mad scientist and tear apart the block.

Yeah he's definitely in need of some longer studs. Maybe loc-tite is doing the trick for him?

I was gonna dyno myself but after i talked to the guy with the Red procharged GTO and saw some of the other numbers i decided it wasnt worth the money.The guy in the gto said it would only pull 4 psi on the dyno instead of 8 like it was supposed too.

Wow that's disappointing, I guess the dyno didn't put a lot of load on the cars, so they weren't able to boost as much on it.

you can set the weight of the car and therefore the load the dyno puts on the car. Can also change the numbers with entering diff weights.

Yeah, I know you can change the car weight, etc., and some put in incorrect weights to 'cheat' but I'm just saying, if the guy is boosting half of what he normally boosts, there's still something wrong - it sounds like they just didn't put the correct load in, or left it at one setting the whole day?
