Okay I promised more details, but I don't have pics/video.

We were still having some trouble with the boost controller. The had to put it back on the rack yesterday to swap out my wide-band sensor and install the tranny cooler, so the rechecked everything and found the issue (had the boost reference setup wrong for an internal waste gate). Now the thing is really rocking, but we need to retune it. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to get over there until tomorrow.

On the HPFP, looks like the one Vince has is messed up. I'm going to try and send him mine to see if it works. It may take a bit of time for that. In the mean time we are going to try 50:50 meth/water and see what we can get out of her. The guy at GPI thinks we should now get mid to high 400s for RWHP.

One more thing...WOW does the boost come on hard and fast. The torque curve shoots straight up. The the stall I'm running we have to actually start the logs at about 4000 RPM, but it has already hit peak torque well before that time and then it is just flat through about 5500 and then a slow decline to redline. The power under the curve is just awesome. Too bad these EFRs are so expensive...certainly the way to go on the medium displacement motors.

Let' me finish tuning and take it for a few spins on the track and some back roads and I'll be able to give you a better idea. Right now I can say I AM VERY IMPRESSED!

It is the new style turbo from Borg Warner. Spool very fast. They are using them on the Indy class cars this year.

Yeah, on the Indy cars using similar GM high feature V6's to ours. If I'm not mistaken I believe they are 2.8 liters? I await your review!

Yeah, love them. Be aware, it is a biatch to get the driver-side one in there.

It is a tight fit with the actuators, but they don't hang down as low as the others either.

It's looking great, can't wait to see the numbers. I'm waiting on AEM to send me the new Meth controller. But mine is running great on pump just have to deal with this damn MAF. Just paid $60 for a new one and waiting to get the JET Perf. MAF to compare and log.

Yeah I'm going through the same thing with AEM. They keep wanting me to disassmble it and send them the controller board. I keep telling them I just want to buy a whole new controller.

Are RX customers the only ones who are happy enough with their systems to show them off?

Where are all the pics?
