Stealth HPOP....WOW!!!

I finished up my Stealth Stage 1 HPOP w/ new IPR this evening and went for a test drive. Right off the bat I blew an IC boot in the 100 tune. I came back cleaned it up and put it back on. I ran again but in 60e and boosted to 27#'s at 90mph and ~1200*. This is a substantial improvement over what was seeing before. It was kinda sluggish when accelerating from 50-60 mph. I still need to work out the air entrained in the HPO system before I do any data logging of the ICPs, but the SOTP feel is telling me all is good now. Throttle response is great at road speed and it pulls much stronger across the mid to upper rpm range. The exhaust is color is more grayish now, indicating a cleaner burn due to better atomization pressures. It was dark when I did my test run, but I'm sure I will be seeing less smoke now. I will update this thread tomorrow as things progress. So far, so great!

I actually broke tires loose in 60e while in second gear. Power seems to come in much quicker now. I should be able to tell more tomorrow when I drive to and from work. I still want to change my thermostat back to a 195* also. I may still need Jody to readjust my ICPs, but I want to drive it for awhile first.

Same here!! Glad its working out!

I had a stage 1, it ate 4 IPR's within a week. No idea why but I'm sure Gary has remedied the issue.

Alright, dammit. I'm calling Bob. That's too good of a deal to pass up, and I know mine is dropping below 2000psi on the hot tunes.
