How many lbs of boost are you at? Yes its all in at 16. I want to be at about 28-30 under boost since this is a completely stock bottom end 389. Do you have a link to your build? I just built the stainless dual 3-1/2" exhaust but I can't seem to upload any pics this morning

It is making 8-9 lbs now. I probably won't run much more until I get a block. It has a 455" two bolt block in it now, and I am nervous about splitting the block. I need to save up and buy a block this year. My build is here in the boost section and is titled My Turbo Headers.

meanone it looks like you have a nice build going on. UPDATE: so apparently the machine shop didn't do what they said they did as the cam wiped out and other stuff happened. As potent as this lil combo is and as destructive to the rear tires as it was even with 50+mph burnouts, the heads had NOT had the springs replaced with the ones I supplied and were the standard 2 barrel 6x springs like from when the heads were assembled in the factory. The machinist had a difficult time preparing how he was going to tell me the valves, guides, springs, were all factory stock and he said he didn't know how my car even made it to 6100rpm like my recall tach tells me it did due to such low spring pressures. Anytime this car is in 2nd gear and I flat foot the throttle, it hits boost and consequently 6000 rpm before I can react and dump the throttle! Anyway, now the heads will actually receive the proper head surface finish for the cometics and the rest of the work the first shop should have done like I paid them. Also the new machine shop swears by Joe Gibbs break in oil and Joe Gibbs conventional oil too so that's what I am going to go with because expensive oil is still cheaper than robbing me of my fun, tearing back into the motor, and paying to have it all done again
