Out for a cruise with my oldest boy riding shotgun alone at the light when an 03-04 STD Cobra pulls up along side we boh had all windows down, two mid twenty year olds in it and the passenger starts snickering. Probably at the box of Kleenex in my back window ( 87 T silver all chrome trim bench seat ) Light turned green and I pulled him 3 cars and let off. At the next light they were inquiring how much boost I replied 18 and asked if it was a real SVT he said yes sir. I asked if he wanted another go at it he said yes sir. I left with 5 LB of boost and pulled him 5 cars. At the next light he said have a nice day and turned right, I didn't hear any more snickering. ;)
 
18 lbs of boost?? Against a 03-04 cobra? Damn. Good run. I figured it would take a bit more than that.
 
Love it, lmao! Two (probably) cocky twenty year olds. What are your mods please. I am also running 18lbs of boost. Just want to see where I stack up. Thanks

Thats a sick setup. I'm surprised you have the boost so low with the Alky. Especially with your timing being as low as it is. You're car is setup to be a monster. Must be fun to drive!!
 
I was working the tune back up from new Trans and converter install 22 psi is as much as I run. The low trimming helps to keep traction.
