Heh, its really not that great, ill be happier when I get rid of this stock bottom end and be able to turn up the boost some. Its only making about 400rwhp right now on a VERY rich tune because my internals can't hold much more... isnt there a tech car show coming up in April sometime? I'm not a member, but I come hang out at the shows and whatever else on occassion.

OHHH ok, do you know a car that looks similar to yours whose plate is BYBYV8? This is the red eclipse I saw on 460 about a week ago, I thought the plate was funny so I had to mess around a little bit. It was a red eclipse with what looked like a rather large FMIC and 3 blue gauges on his A pillar. It was dark so I couldnt see much else...

And yes, I am venting all of the time except for under heavy load (building boost). The blower produces excess air at all RPMs under normal driving (obviously since it is belt driven). So to keep it quiet I have to keep the RPMs down a bit unless im trying to scare someone. I really dont see any way to correct this unless I run a bypass and blowoff in sequence. I dont really want to do that though because the bypass seems to take its time closing when I want to build boost, the blowoff is much more responsive to my vacuum pressure.

I know of the guy, I hardly ever talk to him. He I thought ran a Big 16g with Safc and a Greddy Big FMIC. I hardly ever see him around ever though.

I have a cardomain site with some pics/specs/dyno... Don't mind the 450 estimated horsepower, it's just for all of the cardomain jackasses that like to list crank hp instead of rwhp. I am not fond of the cardomain "community", but I can't complain about free hosting to keep my specs and pics up to date, oh well.

Not much actually, regular maint has cost me an arm and a leg this year, I had to turn the rotors and do some other unnecessary work to make sure she was ready for the trip to Orlando (FFW Spring Break Shootout) last month. I also had to buy some new rear tires for the trip as well (big surprise there). Those 18s are not cheap... I think that I put the blowoff valve since you've seen it, and I also had to put on some adjustable upper control arms because I broke one of the heavy duty ones I installed last year. Now I have to buy a aluminum driveshaft because its vibrating very bad above 70mph. I wish all of these issues would stop popping up so I could actually invest in some new parts. The reality is.... the faster you go, the more you break
