With a fresh 3:89 final drive S geared transmission from Viking Automotive. Butt dyno says this is a huge improvement. It is a blast to drive, but it just feels great to be back in my SPG. See my post(s) below as to why I've been wothout it for a month!
Still boosting way too much (26 psi solid last night). I thought I had turned it down (via turning the wastegate actuator rod). I'll keep working on that. Clutch slips in 4th and 5th above 22 psi. This clutch and PP are 1K miles old. Dang. Much torque being put down by this engine/box combo.
Also of note: this was my first drive on the new Michelin Pilot Sports. They stick like glue and they are 10 time quieter on the highway than my A520s. Suspension mods will happen soon....
