Way to many little issues though. Fuel pressure was unmanageable. Kept rising to over 100 PSI at throttle but to low at idle! JW's overpriced billet flywheel fell apart. Car was nearly 300# heavy. Boost controller issues and such but I expected no less with a brand new combo. I'll be driving this weekend. Also Patrick Barnhill will be there in person tuning her up! Thanks for the compliments and support!
Patrick is a friend or Sikora Racing. He definitely knows boost and has given us a lot of information over the last 18 months. He will certainly be an asset to you. The little things just take some time to identify and sort out. You guys did real well on your first outing.

You might check with Mezziere on a flywheel. My dad had one made from them and it was top notch in quality. He had pre paid since it was a custom part. It ended up being cheaper than they thought so they sent him a refund check. I am not sure how many places would have done that.
After our first flexplate broke and almost cost us everything we went with a Meziere Pro Mod unit. I doubt that we will have any more flexplate issues.

 The Meziere is a quality piece. The people I know that use JW go thru about two per year.
