[QUOTE="tscripa, post: 4207486, member: 29632"] It has always been fun to drive but now it is a blast. The power keeps coming on strong and steady and the handling is much more solid with the subframes and the springs. Once Rick got the car put back together, he loaded up a mail order tune I got from RWTD. I was able to get the car on the dyno yesterday and the tune was very safe with a really good a/f. The only issue I am having right now is some belt slip when I get above 5500 rpm. At that point I started losing boost and my tq really started to fall off. The hp was steadily climbing in a straight line up to that point as well so I need to get this under control to see how much peak power I really have after the mods. One thing I need to decide is if I will go from the 2.76 upper to a combo of 2.93 with a 2 lb lower. Not ready to spend the extra $$s on the lower right now though, and we will see if we can get a tighter belt on in the meantime. Rick also did a great job, as expected, and I wouldn't trust anyone else. His perfectionist approach and excellent advice made this really easy - at last for me :) For anyone else who needs help, I strongly recommend Rick. [/QUOTE]
