Anywhere on the Left side of the steering column to mount it in the dash? I can't remember what all is over there on that dash. What are you going to use for a controller?

its finally moving under its own power! i tried cranking it before FROST showed up and it ran like crap. black smoke rolled out of the exhaust and ended up fouling the plugs. when FROST diagnosed the truck turns out the 2bar map sensor had taken a dump. i got a new map in it last night and it fired and ran. i took it out today and it drives pretty well. still burning off the piping. i was sitting at a stop sign reading my programmer and a guy drove by staring. i looked up and smoke was rolling out from under the hood! so i got out to check and it was just the wrapped piping smoking. next friday FROST is coming back to tune again. hopefully right after that i can run it at the track and get a little footage to share!

well, i took it out today with the supercharger tune still in it and it still runs great! i would give it steady throttle in high gear like FROST told me and the wideband would steadily run from 14.4 to rich very quickly @ about 2 psi. after doing that a couple of times i tried just giving it 3/4 throttle all at once and all of the sudden it shot up to 7-8psi and the wastegate was going crazy!. it felt as strong as the d1sc did @ 10psi. then i tried 3/4 throttle from a dead stop and it shot up to 7-8psi imediatly! im not messing with anymore until FROST sees it again!

Well, Frost came out to put the final tune on my truck on FRrday and we discovered a couple of new problems with my set up. I went back to the 7lb sping, we went out and went through the gears we saw 16lbs of boost at one point. On top of that, right around 11lbs of boost the A1000 pump is maxed out.
So I decided to take it to the track anyway last night just to see what ballpark I am in. I ran a 11.92 at 116mph at 8psi of boost. I was fighting over boost all the way down the track and kept the TPS at roughly 70%. I am going to try to correct my over boost and fuel pressure drop situations in the next couple of weeks
