Thank you Travis!!! If it functions half as good as it looks! I may have my wife put my ashes in it when I pass!!! :D I am now starting to change all my gauges from Lunar and stock middle console to Cobalt. Damn they look nice day or night!

Between 14 and 15psi should be good... for a little while anyway. :D

Racerx will you still be running 93 octane with that boost level?

Yup! What Dave said! I just ran 23 deg adv to 7k the other day without any knocking. I'll back it down quite a bit once the Eaton's working. My polished combustion chambers are doing their job!

reason why i asked is because i tought you were running 11.5 compression.

Yup! Probably more like 11.1:1cr, but, it's high. Oh... Did I mention the 50 to 100 shot I'm leaving on? :D Just to cool the air charge of course. I'll upgrade the stock heat exchanger and IC pump too of course.
Casey! I thought you knew? :burnout:

that should make some real good power, im afraidthat you will find out you wont be able to run much timming on pump gas.
i dynoed minetoday and it was pulling timming.
it was set at 17* and it pulled 2*.still made 484rwhp and 416rwtq.
we ended up at 13* safe on 93 octane and 19* on 110 octane.

Good point, I was reading about coolant flow is ok with the stock pump. The problem being heat removal from the exchanger itself is the problem. You've found this too I take it? Who doesn't want a whipple? :D

I have a few timing tables from other MMs that are Eatonized with the same parts/parameters I have and I at least have a good starting base tune I've been building for the swap. Now if we could just get some warm weather! :mad2:

Hey RacerX, I was thinking of doing the Cobalt too.. I have the stock Oil and the Boost that came with the Trilogy kit. If I did a swap to the Cobalt I think they would be part #'s 6121 and 6107, is that right and does the oil come complete or do you think I need to get the sending unit separate?

thanks man..
