LT1 Boost Street testing

[RealQuick]

took the T/A and got to see the boost gauge in action (digital).

1st gear - as soon as I hit 0psi the tires break loose.
2nd gear - as soon as i hit 1psi, the tires break loose
3rd gear - as soon as i hit 5psi the tires break loose
4th gear - I hit about 8psi around 4500rpm and i got off it because it is too fast for public backroads.

The one problem i have is my OBD port on the car isn't powered up. I hooked up an OBD2 scanner (which blinks if there are no codes), and it never turned on. this is why i can't get my tunercats to read. any ideas?

[AChotrod]

Not sure on the tunercats but it sure sounds fast!!! :):):)

First thing I'd check on the OBD port issue is the accessory fuse for the interior that has the cig lighter on the circuit.

Car sounds like it's a blast man!

Def check that fuse... If that doesnt work search the crap outta shbox.com. I rewired my entire car based on info from that site.

Worst case scenario, pm me and I can provide you with ANY wiring diagram you need via AllData

Lag isnt bad, its actually like nitrous sort of... you mash the pedal, the the motor grunts like it is N/A, then all the sudden you tires are breaking loose before you can blink.:metal:

Yes you will. Dirtydave is running a similar setup as you and he made 575rwhp @ 11psi with the LT1 Boost log TC76 kit (ON A LOAD BEARING DYNO).

[RealQuick]

Thanks for the help guys... it was the 25A fuse!

Is he running stock heads and intake? Unfortunately mine will be for a while..

If he is, those numbers are incredibly efficient

He is using ported stock castings and a mailorder tune.

I am running my stock headed 383 on a mustang dyno next Saturday.

Damn look like you will be having a blast here pretty soon. I can't wait

Do you guys have any pics of your intercooler/turbo setups from the outside on your WS6?...I was wondering how you get any airflow...

I just have the fog lights removed, so the two round openings will let air in. Its isn't the best setup, but it will work. I ahve an alky sustem I will be using as well.

I don't want to skew this thread too much more than it already has, but you also can do something similar as I did. I had some custom ducting fabbed up to direct air from below the front bumper to my FMIC. It works very well. Not as well as a huge gaping hole in the front bumper, but I didn't want that look on my car. I am sure you could do something similar to your WS6.

Or you can do like this guy did and fab up some body colored mesh in front;
