Okay, I'm officially boost happy. You guys were right, it's HARD to stay out of boost. I've only gone past 4500 once, which was when my tires broke loose in third gear. Aside from that, I've done some 1/3 to 1/2 throttle pulls from 3000-4000 rpm, just to get a feeling for it.

Your gonna have to feather it in 1st/2nd gear.

The first couple of time I was at the drag strip, it was just spinning like crazy the first few precious seconds >.<

I don't plan on ever touching it in first or second gear, lol. I tried second and that resulted in ultimate destruction of my all season tires.

3rd or 4th will be your favorite, you feel the pull and hear the badass sound but not to harsh

What kind of boost controller do you have?

I have to tweak my apexi to boost by gear, I believe its called. I might have massacred the name >.< So hopefully that will help.

3rd and 4th are already my favorite . I used to hate 4th, but it's the BEST gear now.

oh speaking of 3rd/4th gear.

Ace I spoke to the people at hydra about the cam map. Its one they built, so its not the stock cam map, like we thought it might have been.

On a side note, the vvti kicks in ALOT at about 3rd/4th gear some load and high rpms ^^

I'll take a look at it next time I borrow my bro's laptop. I just glanced at it when I was boosting over the weekend.

Forge Uni-ball or something like that. It's a manual one. I have it on the minimal setting, and I'm peaking out at 12psi, all the time (6psi wastegate spring). So it's acting like it's on the max setting...
