Re: Fun(?) on Saturday...

Hahaha.. BOTH! Some are the beads from the factory, the others, I bought a large new Vise Grip, a woodruff key and a 3" muffler clamp saddle. I presume you've seen the videos/write ups on how do fab a visegrip 'bead roller'. Right now, it's sticking on fine.

I drove it to my contract site (250miles each way) last night. I'm running light PSI (8) on it for the moment and will step it up a little at a time.

It seems to be running lean(er) on the same tune as I had with the prior setup. I'd been whittling away at a 2bar SD tune that feels awesome off boost but was running persistent knock retard during boost(found out what that was late Sunday). So I could drive it here, I put the 1 bar and old tune back on it for now. I'll go back to the 2bar SD this coming weekend.
