no boost to speak of yet... only have about 40 miles on it LOL.... it feels SOLID though. the converter is PRECISELY what I was looking for, may be a hair looser than everyone else may prefer but, I am loving it.

and even with the single disk setup, it locks up like a ton of bricks

Hmm, depending on how these converters last in all the new 80e builds, I may have to try one of their converters when I build my Allison

I dont have a camera thats worth a damn, and I've done 100% of this alone. so its been difficult to turn wrenches, tune, check fluids, drive, watch guages, watch scanner, listen to every sound.... and be able to run a camera without neglecting any of that.

Ive got a mechanical guage on the turbo oil feed line under the hood... I'm still leary of trusting electronics to a point. I put mech guages anywhere possible.

it was definitely nice cruising down the hwy today and looking at the oil pressure on the dash and seeing almost 70psi.... that means the turbo is seeing a hair under 50 by the time it makes it out that far.... perfect

That's great oil pressure, hopefully this motor stays together!
