Am i still first in line (or is glen), are you able to send pics to greg2637@sbcglobal.net Thanks, Greg.
No offense, but how is that an issue with the turbo? You said you haven't got your fueling sorted out, and obviously your tires don't cut it, but you want to buy a bigger turbo. It makes no sense. Why not keep what you have and try to squeeze the most out of it before you decide you "need" bigger and better?
And how is no lag bad?
85 Typewh1 is first in line, shoot i thought you were glen! sorry.
Second my over all "Speed" goals have changed anf the TA49 is not going to be big enough.
I fixed the tire problem yesterday.
I ordered 10" GN wheels from Gbody. I also ordered a set of MT ET street radials to fit those bad boys.
When the head gaskets go I am going to get a set of GN1's.
I am just lazy or the fuel problem would be fixed already. Looks like I may have to drop the tank. I crawled under and checked everything yesterday -all grounds and lines. When I got done the fuel problem was gone. According to Jack Cotton, the baffel in the tank may be moving around.

Duh!!!
I just realized that the fuel problem started after the new trans was in and I went to the drags and turned up the boost to 26#. I had no knock but REAL low 02's. I just realized that when I had these chips made I believe they were 21-22 # chips.
The reason I had no Knock was because I was spraying ALKY real hard with my Razor kit.
Yesterday when I checked the car over and gave her a test run I had adjusted the WG rod so I was only running 22#.
I don't have a fuel problem per se just not enough chip for that kind of boost.
The car runs great when I run the boost at what the chip was burnt for. Something I never consisered. Maybe this will help someone else.
