    Nice job. Do you plan to roll a bead on the IC pipes, or do you have another method to keep them from blowing off?

    Well upped the boost to 20 psi feels great need to do some more tuning on the carb for the higher level. hope to get some track time soon.

    I really needed a looser converter i can only make 2 psi on the transbrake on the motor
