we are running it rich with 6deg of timing pulled. I have been checking spark plugs often checking for detonation and everytime i pull the plugs they look perfect. grey tip no glitter the rest of the plug has some sut on it from running 11.2~ at wot. its running normal AFR under 25 or 30% load i forget what nick set it for. and yes devin is right there is no tq peak from 4K all the way to red it just keeps pulling harder and harder then it shifts and keeps pulling… i wouldent doubt if this would run low low 14’s or faster the way it sits right now. also in adition to the oil fitting comming loose it seems as though we also blew out the rear cam seal. so after about 1 hour we popped it back into its home and all is good untill tomorrow when i can get a chack valve for the breather on the top of the block. (not the valve cover vent tube) ---

I didn’t realize it was Alex until I was going past the car/flatbed. I turned around at Union and was going to whip a u turn right in front of you guys but you were just starting to drive off…so I said ‘f it…’ and proceeded to turn around more causually at Transit and go pick up my Chinese takeout:wiggle: But I will say with those wheels and that hood that car looked pretty serious:pimp: ---

I have no doubt that it will be over 100mph. the launch isn’t insane but by the end of the 60’ it should be boosting hard, and it pulls great all the way to redline. thanks lxtasy ---

That is what I meant. I know SHO’s arent the greatest for getting out of the hole but have super high traps. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/boosted-sho-is-aliiiiive/15593.md?page=2)
