Default Tom Jr Step-up!

Well, my Son has decided to do a little up of the boost in his car, so we added the 4# spring to his wastegate. He is up to somewhere around 21# or so, but we can't tell because his boost gauge only goes up to 20, and it pegs it if he punches it. His car has been running rich as of late, so why put it back on the dyno when we have this extra spring lying around? We get a little crazy with our thinking sometimes because we hang around the shop with no projects to work on. It definitely woke his car up and he should be easily in the 10.50's with this new setup. His last best is 11.09@124. We will find out on Tuesday night......
