Did you get the inoperable oil pressure/temperature gauge issue figured out?
It's the oil temp gauge... And the short answer is no! I'm about to replace an oil pressure switch located by the throttle body, hopefully that'll fix it. We'll see?

I hope that it does, because that is a critical function. It is recommended that the oil be at least 180 degrees to start driving at higher RPM's. So it is important for the gauge to be operable.

It's important to me because it's an almost new car that a damned gauge doesn't work on. I drove junk cars when I was a kid... I'm not a kid anymore, and this isn't a junk car. It's on there, should be functional. I'll eventually figure out the issue, but in the mean time, it's terribly frustrating.
Based on the OP comments below, I'd say the SAE numbers will be a bit lower?
Maybe.... But at the end of the day, not too bad considering it's around 7psi boost, a conservative tube, and no headers. And as a sidebar, it'll blow the 305 drag radials off it it I choose to. So I'm happy.
I totally agree... The gain is awesome and I didn't mean to take away from that. Just trying to respond to the thought of STD vs SAE. I'll be going with 7 to 8 psi too and will be happy with a net hp equal to yours. Congrats!

Thank you! It's a totally different car for sure... You'll love it even more boosted. I may eventually go for the 600hp club, but for now, I'm very happy with this setup.
