    from the little bit I've heard about them the 369 makes alot more power than a 366 at the same boost level and is supposed to make 150-200 whp more topped out. I have heard some rumors of people approching 1000 whp on a 369. 366's are extremely popular up here on LS cars so there has been a lot of talk on them

    Finished putting the car together last night, cranks but no fuel pressure, crank sensor is a little frayed couldnt find my multimeter to test it but after work today I'll figure it out.

    Got a new sensor, old sensor was reasing 223,000 ohms, new one is at 890 and started right up.

    The old setup was a 3inch non stainless exhaust, putting a 3.5inch downpipe and 4 inch exhaust on the car.

    As far as power goals go, 5-10 percent more power would be nice, with 760-770whp I think I can compete at mpact.

    At your power levels I think the exhaust alone will get you that 5-10%. When I went from 3 to 3.5" I noticed a massive difference and I am only at the 500ish whp mark.

    Will be interested to see if you get boost creep going this route. My 3" worked great. 4" turbo back creeps even w/ two Tial 44mm.

    How much did you make with the 3 inch? Why not go back to it if it worked?

    Big gains going with bigger exhaust at that power level. Going from 3.0 to 3.5 at 500 whp should be good for at least 50whp. And when I made the switch to 3.5" I'd say I got a solid 50 or more whp.

    I was more interested in the boost creep vs power standpoint. Trying to avoid creep while making power.

    Jon, do you have your WGs recirculated on the setup that creeps, or are they dumped to the atmosphere?

    As far as creep goes, this manifold has always creeped, 4 to 5psi at 11lbs, but only 1-2psi at 26-27psi, and this car will be running around 30psi.

    If your setup will tolerate turning it up until it doesn't creep anymore, you can't beat that! Lol

    just block off the gate all together.
    you're already at most of the boost.
    just take that last step to all of it.
    always trying to make it lighter and faster

    I like this train of thought. Just use all the boosts.
