your a good man, any driving impressions thus far?
I friggin' love it. The enclosed bpv (run open) is perfect. Not too loud and not too quiet ...it could be that the F1A is ridiculously noisy though. I haven't gone 1/2 throttle yet because I'm a worry wart. I hope to have the dyno tune soon and will report back with better info!

I have the Vortech Mondo valve (enclosed) and I just took the hose off so I'm running VTA instead of recirculated. Sounds sick, but much quieter when just driving around than Cory's open Procharger valve.
What time are you dynoing on Sunday and how much did Jon say it would cost all together? Trying to get mine done as well and would love to see your car while I'm there.

Chris, not sure if you would know this yet or not, but when you rev the motor or get into boost and the bypass opens, does yours have a constant 'whooooosh' sound, or does it flutter like 'psssh psssh psssh psssh'. Mine does the latter and I'm not sure why.

Mine is a constant whoosh (after I get off the gas). I think Dustin's is a flutter, but I could be wrong though. He has the Mondo BPV like you.

Nope, mine is a constant whoosh...Dale you could have a vaccum problem with the bypass valve. I had mine hooked to a different vaccum source and it wasn't opening the valve fast enough and it would chutter.
Well I have been back for all of 30mins now, so no video for tonight; definitely tomorrow though. I am going to nickname this POS the blacksheep. Everything tuned beautifully and the car runs fantastic, but for the actual pulls the dynojet crapped a speedsensor so we could not get whp/tq #'s. They ripped the dynojet apart, replaced the sensor and all was well. Because there were others behind me waiting for a tune, they just strapped it in real quick to get a whp, but no tq #.
Drivability is great, nothing different from my TT setup. I still have to be conscious enough to not engage the clutch at high speeds to prevent it from cutting off ...no big deal. I also got stuck in I-95S traffic for 20mins in 80* air-temp and the temp did not move. It pulls like a raped-ape though.
558whp @ 15psi and ~16.5* timing
