    That's my fault, it doesn't remind me so I always forget when it hits 100.

    Anyways thanks for the reply, I thought it was the Lightning Eaton M112, but wasn't sure. Of course I asked all those questions because I was contemplating going that route with my C4 Corvette, but you having tuning issues sort of pees in my cheerios. Was there a particular problem with tuning?

    10lbs on a M112 sounds like it'd be fun. Thanks for the insight.

    Several tuners (nationally known all) ended up pulling their hair out. It was an issue with the "tip in". If I hit the gas pedal hard the computer got confused and the result was a big backfire into the intake. Not good for the blower or the engine. One tuner actually bend a rod with a backfire and ended up giving me a 383 block for "my trouble".

    Damn... Is the boost that different than from a centrifugal charger!

    Had u gone stand alone computer would it have solved the tuning woes?

    Yea, stand alone or trying the 2-3 BAR MAP route I'm going to take with the turbos. I just didn't have the money or down time available at the time. It was my daily driver and business car.

    Larry, I've been real busy with work lately. I need to catch up on my calendar and figure out what is possible. I'd like to go just to meet some new faces. We'll see.

    "Mother of God!"? LOL You guys must not be seeing what I'm seeing out there. Mine is one of three Impala's with twin turbos just in our ATL car club. We've got members from here to Cali running them. My set up is one of the ugliest. )
