Max Boost

Ok. On my early morning drive (5:20am), the temps ranged from 9 to 18 degrees. I hit a high of 18lbs of boost (

) at 6k RPM at 11 degrees and again at 18 degrees. I also hit 14lbs of boost at around 3k RPMs. I have to say - I never accelerated that fast in my life. I was afraid to go to redline with those boost levels.

Santa came through this year! I got a Helix gift certificate! So as soon as I can get to Philly (if they're in the shop this week), I'll get the GIAC and larger injectors!
