...until he started spinning...:3d_frown:
Went down to Mobile this weekend and put a new timing belt on my baby at Bill's (blksupratt) shop. We also shimmed my wg in hopes of getting it to stop bleeding off boost, since I had been hitting 8 and falling to 6~ after about 42-4300. We also found out the timing was out a tooth, so we fixed that as well.
Our goal was to get my car to the track in Irvington (1/8) for the first time, but by the time we were finished it was getting kinda late and the fog was a bit thick. So we call the track and the owner tells us that they are open, but anything that has any umph to it at all is just spinning all the way down. I didn't want to run a crappy time so we just said screw it and cruised out to find anyone hanging out.
On the way back to his house we pull onto a 5 lane road and he puts down the throttle in his 94 (t04r/th400) and spins and slides. I mat it and hit the limiter throw it second and spin and slide. A few seconds after wondering what boost I hit, since I was a bit too busy to look, Bill moves over into the right lane and his rpm's drop........I knew he was giving me a full on "no balls" call out. I come up beside him and ask my passenger to watch the boost gauge for me. I pull it to 2nd at about 4500~, he downshifts to 2nd and starts to brake boost. We both mat it and I immedately pull about a bumper on him, I throw it in third and all I can here is a very pissed off 2jz and 275/45/17 street tires begging for mercy as Bill pulls about a half a car on me. He then let off to keep from hitting me.
I ask my passenger how much boost I hit and they reply, "10." I reply, "10?! HELL YEAH!" At the next turn we make I put it in third and mat it and look down to see 10psi at around 4500. :D
Moral of the story: I now hit 10psi!
