Well I just now got my 15psi boost gauge installed and guess what? With my 10k pot turned up about 8/10 of the way it will peg the gauge and hold there untill I have to let off because I get going to fast. Is that normal for a stock engine? Should I turn down my pot as to not do damage or is 15psi ok for short blasts? (I put my pot (volume control knob from radioshack)under the dashboard by my brake controller so I simply bend down and adjust it as I please. Works really well; too well I guess) I also have my pyro gauge in but I dont have the sensor drilled/tapped yet. One more thing, is there some trick to getting the a-pillar back in once taken out because I have spent more time fooling with it than it took to hook everything else up. Finally broke a plastic clip off so now I have to wait for the epoxy to set up. Just seems like there is no way to get it back into place without breaking it( even shaved a lot off with the dremel) Oh, well

better turn down the boost. if its pegging the guage it could be going higher than 15psi. turn down to around 12-13 for a stock engine with no ic

:iamwithst you keep it at that w/out an intercooler youll be buyin a new engine before you know it.

Ok, Sounds good to me, I will by the way be making an air to water intercooler soon if I can get a hold of a a mig or tig welder. I am going to try and use heater cores in the intercooler and a transmission cooler with fan under the frame somewhere. I am going to run coolant trought the system, but what would happen if instead of coolant I ran a lightweight oil through it? Would oil or coolant be better to pickup, carry, and disapate heat better? Just an Idea.

coolant would be better. its designed for that.

water is said to have a 4:1 cooling co-effcient, air to air 1:1

I had the same Idea using a heater core, but the chevy one is too small, get a higher CFM core.

Those pilars are a pain in the rear. It took me along time to get mine back in also. Just keep trying different angles. I was so happy when I finaly got mine back in I dont remember how I finaly did it.:lol:

while ive never pulled the A pillars from a CK chevy, I have pulled the A pillars on a LOT of cars over the past year. (Professional car audio installer) The biggest key to getting panels back on is being patient and to not force anything. If something is blocking you, figure out what and dont force it until you know for 100%. If you cant figure out how it goes on, sit back and look at the pop tabs and where they should be going into the subframe. Try different angles making sure everything lines up. Wiggle stuff around and dont be afraid to SLIGHTLY bend the panel, just dont force anything.

I've worked on late 70 hoop T, all the way up to a '98 Ferarri F550 Maranello and that approach has always worked! :)

I see pass the coolant from the intercooler through the tranny cooler to cool down the coolant
Thats a great Idea.
Could a fan and switch help if the boost air is at low temperature. or set it so the coolant is cool and when power is needed it will rise the coolant temp.
