Last night I got a 6766 and DW300 from NF and put them on my car.

We haven't done much tuning with the 6766, but initial results seem positive. The first round of tuning we had it up to 40psi and it really moves in 4th but boost in 2nd and 3rd was not well controlled.



I was running the TurboSmart 40mm gate with 14psi springs. I decided to upgrade to the new(ish) TurboSmart "High Pressure" setup. This includes a new top cap and a 35psi spring setup (25psi and 10psi).

The higher springs pressure setup was a real bear to try and get back together, but I managed to do it ...by hand (my vice wasn't big enough). Boost response on spring pressure looks great. Solid 35psi curves out to 8k.

Here's a quick speedo video of the 67mm running through the gears at 35psi.

This weekend I installed the Bluetooth E85 sensor from FlexConverter.com

This is a product made and sold by the creator of the Carberry ROM. His ROM's now support full Flex Fuel. I am still using COBB SD so I'm not using the Flex Fuel application, but I still like having the sensor for ethanol percentage and fuel temp.

The kit I got is fully plug and play and is set up for a speed density setup. The harness has one connector for the OEM MAF wiring, another wire for a GM IAT sensor, and the last connector is for the GM ethanol sensor. Just splice the sensor into the fuel return line and everything else is plug and play. Install takes just a few minutes.








The last fill up I did was from a different gas station that I normally use. It is right next to my work, but normally doesn't have as good of E85. The sensor confirmed that it was only 69%. I'm hoping to get a new tank in soon from my normal station and see how it compares.

Here are a few more updates:

Decided to pull the motor out to put into my brother's Bugeye. Ordered parts for a new shortblock.



Also purchased a set of Kelford 282 cams that I found someone selling on the forums.



Cams arrived yesterday. Still waiting on the other parts.



Cleaned up the garage a bit and hung my third tire rack for the slicks.
