yeah possibly clint

and yeah qjkxbm the eboost 2 has different set points. easily changed by the push of a button on the controller itself or you can wire up a greddy push button.

after all this ill run about 11psi in first, 15psi or so in 2nd, and 18-19 in 3rd.

Hey Jeff. What is your build costing you? Isn't that clutch like a grand alone.

Your car is gonna be a monster. I want to see it with 9" wide tires.

If you take it to the drags after you break it in, make sure and let us know what your 1/4 times are.

GOOD LUCK!
