Finally got the car running perfect!
as some of you may know i was having problems getting my ss/tc to run right. after having it rebuilt by a shop and paying tons in labor 
i couldnt figure out why it was studdering while cruising. i was getting so frustrated that i began pondering about selling the car but by the grace of god i found the problem. the shop tightened the intake coupler so hard on the stock plastic air box that it caved in and was taking in tons of unmetered air. well i pulled it off and melted hot plastic from a random cover i had in my garage and repaired it. car runs beautifully now. boost is turned down to only 13 lbs but it still pulls hard 
its crazy how i can go from wanting to sell the car to loving it again in one day

glad it got sorted out so easily after all that stress. I've had those moments too of wanting to get rid of a car cause its acting shitty, then loving it again within the next few hours lol.
