Right now I have the rev limiter set at 5800 rpms. It's making about 6lbs of boost so far which is conservative but the car already blows the tires off.
The other problem is when it gets warm and builds boost past second gear it blows through the clutch- currently a centerforce dual friction. It also has a rear main leak that has been there since the motor went together. I used a two piece viton seal but the motor was also line bored because of the main studs.
My next order of business is to pull the motor out, replace the clutch (with probably a ram powergrip hd, replace the rear main seal (I think I'm gonna try a graphtite from best gasket), and throw a little fresh paint on everything.
After that I'm going to try to make it a bit less ratty looking. I've already put a dash cap on:
But it also needs door panels and door skins (I also have parts to put manual window regulators in), carpet, and a headliner.
I will try to keep everyone up to date!
