i know me too....so i was lookiing at building my own fuel pressure guage to check how things are looking and after looking at the prices i think im just going to go ahead and install a permanent fuel pressure guage on my car one that reads from 0-100psi....that should do the trick...this way ill be set for as long as i have the car this way im not wondering whats going on with it

so last night i went for a lil cruise...just to see if i can find anything out of the ordinary....and sure enough the dam feed pipe fly's of the dam turbo again....well...i pulled over did a lil maintenance again....i need to find a better clamp to hold it in place....thats the only one that i have with a a screw on it...and its not cutting it......so im pulled over doing my thing i get it back on....and i turn her on....and the beast awakes......its ridiculous how dam loud she is....lol....i was at a plaza parking lot...and this camaro happen to be driving by....and he turned around and he was like dayam what u got under that hood.....so i showed him real quick....he didnt know **** about cobalts. he did ask if it was the SS and i said no its an LS...he looked really confused after that. the look on his face was priceless...but he was real happy that it wasnt a ricer that was makin all the noise....lol....then he says...keep it american...and he drives off....
so finally changed out that one clamp that was giving me issues...and guess what the whole time...i just had a boost leak form that bitch....now im running so rich the whole time 10.0...most of the time....well...rich is better than being lean...now we can get back to tuning

that is good, what r u using to logg with? just a wideband gauge? or you got something thats loggin everything, cuz im getting the innovate lm1 i believe, it cost like 429, so it logs my a/f at every RPM so i can send it back to vince and he can tune it almost perfectly, as i will be providing numbers for every RPM

goin 3inch on a turboed car wont hurt anythin. an s/c doesnt work quit the same as a turbo thus why he lost power. you should be fine with a 3 inch thou. with turbo more flow is better.
