Thanks a lot man, usually everyone talks crap about the sohc, even dohc guys, so it feels good to prove that a stock sohc can compete with a stock dohc.

Oh yeah, went to the tracks today, ran a 13.59 at 108 with an okay launch. Definitely a high 12 second car with better driving and tires. For sure the next time i go, ill be bringing home a 12 second time slip.

Oh and some junk crx tried to race me on the way home and i floored it in second, got sideways, let off since i didnt want to die and he beat me.

Turning up the boost some more once i get my new couplers and a new wideband. Cheap autozone couplers keep blowing off my maf and my wideband took a shit after a 200 mile trip...wtf.

18-20 psi should be really fun.

If your still having problems with boost falling off you may need a stiffer w/g spring. I had that problem when trying to run 25psi with a 7psi spring and greddy controller LOL.

Cool setup man.

Its not dropping off as bad now that i got a pretty big boost leak fixed. There are still little leaks so that might be why boost is slightly dropping.

20psi on stock bottom end sinle with 180k+?!

Make it happen.
I hate talking about engines and horsepower, but if you manage to keep this shit
running with that much boost your one of my fucking heroes.

Best of luck man!

Lol thanks...i was gonna try and make the BBQ but i had to work...maybe ill come to the next one and maybe it'll be at 20 psi

Thanks man..i think?, anyway, heres another video from a while ago with a spike to 15psi and dropping to 10psi because of a pretty big leak. Breaks second loose like crazy...

Swap in the other sohc thats sitting in my garage and run the same amount of boost again...lol and then after that one goes or when i make it blow by running 30+ psi, ill finally swap to a dohc. Just trying to break or set records right now
