Well, I figured I'd post up an update. The car runs crazy smooth. The boost comes on exactly as planned, and then the fuel pressure plummets and I have to get off it. Ugh! I've tried a few things and found a nasty burr on the inside of the regulator that gouged the aluminum so it doesn't hold enough pressure. I ordered a better regulator from Aeromotive and should have it in tomorrow. The a/f ratio is way too rich and hits 9 right before going dead lean. Hopefully the fuel pressure settles down and I can actually get some damn tuning started! I set up the distributor for 15 degrees initial, 30 total, all in around 2500. The thing idles at 16-17 afr somehow so I should be able to run the cruise circuits really lean and have decent mileage. Once the center carb is tuned I hook the outer carbs back up and jet them accordingly.
