IS ONE HELLUVA GOOD TIME WOOHOO. This thing boogies! I need to get the gear changed though. By the time I get a head of steam built up I have to shift because of the 3.73's.

Today I learned 1st-3rd is useless on street tires. I am going to try and get some video tomorrow if the camera works. I'll try to get some exterior camera shots as well but make no promises.

This isnt my first rodeo with boost. I just never had anything with this much power. The 347 and 5 speed make for a great time on the street.

Is this your first turbo build?

No, I had a 2.3 turbo 89 Vert for a while. Easily the most fun car I have ever owned. It had plenty of power for a good cruiser but this thing gets dirty. Its way more than the big block ever had, of course the torque of the big block isnt there but the whoa nelly feeling as the boost comes on > big block torque.
