no tranny issues that i'm aware of. possibly another clutch upgrade is around the corner though.
yes more power. it's only 13lbs. when i really start tuning it'll be revving to 6500rpm, no governor, more than 13lbs, and definitely i'll have a larger than the stock throttle body i'm currently running

my timing is absolutely perfect. GMPP Supercharger reflash really does take care of any timing issues. I have almost no knock on this car. Biggest thing I can do, is just gap the plugs a lil tighter.
The compression isn't an issue honestly. I don't plan to run over 20lbs of boost on this car anyway.
Regarding the software from HPTuners, it's going to do two big things for me right off the bat.
1. rev limiter to 6600 so I can set the MSD's much more forgiving limiter at 6500rpm
2. Speed limiter from 106mph, will be negated and moved up to whatever sounds cool at the time.
3. any and all driveability quirks shall be dealt with and sacked by the managing partners of this car.
4. any and all traction control management shall be sacked
5. any and all fuel issues shall be addressed, and if need be sacked.

that i do not.....
........................
i've had nothing but an uphill battle in putting my car together. I've had naysayers evildoers and even the GM service department against me. You try to justify turbocharging a car when you have to go through 5 GM certified dealerships for a simple reflash. You try waiting 5 months from mantapart on a set of pistons that were in stock, only to have them short you on piston rings and have to wait two more weeks from that? How about having a place that does oilchanges help assist in killing the motor? Having to wait for time at the shop so that i can put my car on a lift? Or having my car sit in the garage for a months waiting for parts, just collecting dust and having parts from other cars put on top because i've been taking up space for so long?
props to b-spot

Oh yeah, one other thing. I respect what you did with your car Spy. Now quit crying over how long you had to wait for blah blah blah. I've been waiting for over a year now with this turbo build that I'm doing because I change my mind on stuff, decide to wait for info on new products coming out, etc. I have 95% of my system sitting right here on my workbench, and have been staring at it for over 3 months now. My doing, because I wanted full merged headers instead of logs.
Is it eating away at my very soul? Hell yes. Does it drive me completely f***ing insane? why yes, it does. Is it my fault? mostly it is, for choosing the route I am taking, and the way I am going about it.
