I should still be racing, might have a few more upgrades at that time though.

Sounds like a challenge. Most of the camaros that come out to our raceway are v8s. I got to race against a 1Le I got him once only because a treed him and got a better launch.the rest of the run she caught up and passed me. Make our v6 proud your next time out there. Since you've been working with the tune I bet your going to hit some great times.

The Dyno operator said the boost gauge was at 8 PSI, but there was no fan on the intercooler so the car was pulling timing like crazy to prevent a detonation.

Congrats, definitely family first, then car upgrades. The supercharger was my wife's way of thanking me for putting family first instead of trading for a ZL1. If I had traded, we wouldn't have been able to buy a house.

On another note, my EVAP system is finally ready and the car is feeling better and better. Only problem to fix now is the oil catch can, it fills up with water in 4 days. Going to try an Apex catch can mounted behind the radiator with braided hoses instead of the huge rubber ones.

That issue is not the first time I have read or heard of that problem. Not sure changing catch cans will fix the issue. I was under the impression it is more to do with the IPF set-up than anything else. I am not looking to get into the middle of any debates over this one. But you should look to contact IPF and ask them what they have done to fix this problem.

I'm mostly changing the catch can so I can empty it easier (PITA right now) and to shorten up the hose lengths. Also will make it look a lot better without those huge heater hoses everywhere.

True statement there. I was thinking the same thing.

I've emptied mine once in 12,000 miles. Got about a half cup out of it.

Its been really humid and wet here, which is bad news for next year because tornado season might be more active due to the moisture in the ground.
