driving around saturday ran into some "rice" cars. I revved up a little for the BOV to sound off at them and one guy yell "what the F*** was that!!" One of the main reasons I went with the kit! My idle is set at 600rpm and the S/C is quite as can be...
Meth and headers are on my to do list. Let me how how it goes vr6aaron with the cam!

hasn't been above 55 here but it will grab in 3rd somewhat. 1st and 2nd is nothing but spinning. I lose traction about 4-4.5krpm
regular dyno, but his reads low from what I heard. He only ran it in 3rd gear so that is why the HP is lower and even with torque then others. 4th gear roll I should see 520ish.

dynojet - the torque is spot on with 471.
Right now I have the stockers. Going to change rims and go with 305 or 325's in the back. a vendor has a rim that will fit the 325, not sure if I like it or now..need to chew on it some.
There is a thread right now about sticky tires. Been following that.

The BOV(blow off valve). This is what it sounds like when you rev it. This is on a mustang tho.

I will get a video of it when it stops snowing/raining here in MD.
Right now the only thing I don't like is when the power comes in. It's a tiny bit high in the RPMS. Once I get headers and alky in I should be good. I may have drove it around for 600 miles since I had it so haven't had good windshield time. Track opens March 2nd, if its warm enough I'll give it a run.

At what RPMs does it kick in at?

My car is complete stock. Without headers I'm losing some power due to the lack of free flowing exhaust. That might be where the difference is considering how boost is built..but I'm unsure.

I'm curious why the car was dyno'd in third? That should give you a higher torque reading. I would have it redyno'd somewhere else possibly, the torque reading you have should be a minimum for forth gear let alone third.
I just want to make sure your getting what you should from the kit.
