Took LT1 Boost Turbo T/A out for maiden voyage
 
took the TA out for the maiden voyage (quick run up and down the street).

Having trouble with the electric gauges though... A/f doesn't light up, boost gauge doesnt shown any boost, just registers 30" of vacuum, and the fuel pressure gauge reads 30psi... when it is 43.5 @ idle. i need to figure that out before i take it back out.

As far as how it runs... it runs good. 383ci, stock heads, baby cam, T76 with stock Lt1 manifolds flipped forward. Its running 7 psi according to the wastegate spring. Feels very strong for such low boost and stock 220cfm LT1 heads.

1st gear @ 1/2 throttle spins the street tires, 2nd gear from a roll spins the tires as soon as I hit 2500rpm, and 3rd gear from a roll spins the tires once i hit 3500rpm... and spins them all the way to 90mph. Car rips good. time to mount the dr's.

Glad to hear it's running :)

Looking forward to some future updates...aka dyno and track numbers.

On a positive note, registered and inspected my 73 on Friday and took it out for a nice lil run to Hampton.
