Very nice Jeff...

I've never heard the turbo from the back. My boy said it sounded like an angry scream.

Just to update, we had a loose seal on the air-horn and didn't get but a few pounds of boost. Not nearly the 600+ hp we were hoping to work the bugs out of on the test runs.

I also over-filled the oil and the engine dumped a large amount of oil out the CAM cover fresh air tubes (open to air) when I let off the throttle. Live and learn...

All and all we were very happy with the engine and the turbo system excluding the Samco Duct mod to the air-horn.

Car is back after the two day 30 hour drive. Now it's off in a week or so to the fab guys so they can start jigging the system.

Cheers,
RH
