I hope to know something in here soon. I just got back from town with a pressure tester so I'm going to go pump it up.

Funny you should mention that. He called right as I was getting home and made that very offer.

So are you downloading the numbers while Scott checks out the pressure Dave? We're starting to think you're toying with us.

He just couldn't stand leaving it til the morning eh? Can't blame him, that would drive me nuts til I found it.

I'll be watching here to see what it turns out to be.

It sure looked like it was coming from the cap though.

No leaks. Pumped it up to 16 psi and it holds indefinitely.

I then let the pressure off and let it idle on the tester and it only built up about 3-4 psi. Tested the cap I just bought and it would not hold any pressure at all, so I dug the old cap out of the garbage and it will hold only11 PSI.

Sorry. Got tired, took a shower, DSL went down for a while........

Anyway, what little data I could gather between filling up the radiator looks promising. In any chip setting I'm seeing at minimum a 300psi improvement over stock. I can maintain 2700psi on the 140 setting and it will top 3000psi in the stock setting. Of course I've put a grand total of 9 miles on it tonight......so I haven't even really had a chance to work the air out of the lines yet. Assuming a new cap corrects my coolant issue you can expect firmer numbers tomorrow.

Looking forward to those solid numbers after you get your coolant issues ironed out.
