Rin thicker oil man. I have none of the rattle or clacking sounds at idle with 10w40.

Also At idle I average around 20hg.

Cruise control on I average around 15-10 at 80mph

Boost peak is right at 9-9.5 psi depending on how scorching hot it is outside.

after driving home after posting I noticed that at idle I am at 19hg.

I will try tunning thicker oil this oil change

Do you still have the vsv hooked up ..?

No, I disconnected it because it went nuts one day and started clicking on and off like crazy at idle and off throttle at low RPMs. Car seems to run better with it disconnected (not even plumbed). Of course, I get the ambiguous CEL. I was able to pickup my Greddy Ultimate w/ MAP in Fort Worth on my back from Alaska. I willbe putting it in this weekend and will see what the MAP datalogs.

I could try to come up with a home grown optical pulse generator to create a tach signal and clocked the RPM's on the pulley. Is any one good with pulley ratios to come up with the correct crank to TRD pulley turn ratio? I never attended physics class.

Thanks for all the inputs!!!

Looking at ya'lls #'s, I would say that my FAZE gauge maybe off by 2 Hg. Suffice it to say, if that s correct then I would be off 2 PSI as well. That would still only have me just cracking 7PSI with a 2 PSI deficiency.

I'll be 13's by october. I'll toss in the 12lb pulley when I figure out what engine management I'm gonna use. I'm just doing EVERYTHING else before that so I don't have to go for more than one tune.

Alphawerks headers are going in tomorrow along with my draxas exhaust (had to wait for the headers to get back from jet-hot). After that, I just gotta settle on which management I want to use to go with more boost.

I figure with engine management, a 12lb pulley, meth, lightened flywheel, headers and a full exhaust, I should be able to pull 13's pretty easily.

Err, well, as long as my fat ___ isn't driving

This winter I *may* do a rebuild with forged internals.

internals are good. Make sure to get an accurate balance on them. You can also hit a lightweight crank pulley from ZPI and/or pulley set from NST. I have both.

I idle at 19 in-Hg and in cruise control it is usually between 10 and 20 in-Hg. With the stock pulley, I hit the as and it goes to 0, then jumps to 1-2psi, then very slowly climbs to 7psi.
