Thanks guys! I know I need alot more practice launching haha, hopefully I can find a night to go out there when there arent 100 people there and it takes 30-40 min between passes 
Oh and heres what I did today... Cut and buffed the hood I re-cleared. Oh and buffed and detailed the outside of the whip ;) I also fixed my minibike and worked on another custom minibike/chopper for a friend of mine. Oh yeah, lots of welding in shorts and short sleeves sucks haha

Soo theres a first time for everything...
Ive blown off i/c pipes before, no biggie, well tonight, I was out enjoying the festivities in Mexico, got in a couple great runs on 21psi, than boom loud clanking, and BUDUMMMPP. WTF all I could think was catastrophic failure. Pull over and the engines still running fine...
Come to find out I blew off an entire section of lower i/c piping, the scraping was the pipe dragging the ground than the budumpp was my pass tire running over said pipe lmao.
Pics will be up in the morning - I should be able to fix this tomm, right now Im tired.

sux bro. you should really keep it on the track anyway. mexico is no place for a gringo. i remember when i first installed my current kit, i went to test drive it and the i/c pipe blew off the turbo and hit the radiator. when i pulled over to see what happened, i noticed that i had run over my i/c pipe, and my radiator was squirting out fluid.

LOL very true sir, very true. Soooo I fixed it today. Welded in a new section of pipe to replace the crushed part... here are some pics...
Than well my normal bad luck bit me in the ___. I was using some worm drive clamps I had laying around, and well I went out and made a pull to test everything, great doin good, well second pull it blew off again, and well instead of running over it, it torpedoed out somewhere in the tall grass / ditch. I didnt realize until I came home that it came off completely so I went back in my truck to look for it, and it looks like its lost forever. I made several passes but couldnt find it anywhere Ordered in some tbolts, couplers and 180* bend to fab a new piece to replace the piece Ive now lost completely :/ Oh well on the list of ____ that can go wrong with 400+ whp, this is fairly minor lol.

So after having my spipe hit too many damn Oklahoma potholes, Im ditching the exhaust 
Just ordered all the parts to build my side exit 
Found out last night after trying to fix and exhaust leak that the last impact actually warped the flange where the downpipe mates to the turbo :/

What'chu talkin' bout? I-40 is smooth as glass*!
Sucks about the pipe, though. I hit a 4x4 (board) driving up I-35 toward Edmond in my S2K yesterday.
Looks like I got lucky and the tire just kicked it out of the way.

So i guess 21 psi is it for now The 1000cc injectors are pretty much pushed as far as they can go. Oh yeah, heres a little pull I made tonight, even feathering it, traction is a little hard to come by in 3rd Anyone know of 1600-2000cc injectors that arent like $800-1000 :/
Oh and FYI - Im not doing the side exit - I like my semi-sleeperness haha. I ended up fixing the flange on my downpipe

Well Im about to take her down for some tweaking and more power Gunna put in an E351 (my 4th gear has been having issues for a long time) and throw in some 1300cc injectors. Once shes back up in a week/ish I plan on going to around 25/26 psi
