It sure felt like I was about to break something... and then pop, it came loose!

A 150 ft/lbs torque wrench done this way could not get it to budge. A 300 ft/lbs electric torque wrench just failed to do it. I now have an 800 ft/lbs compressed air wrench ... gotta hook that bad boy up. Something's got to give...

I don't know what it turns at 70 mph because I am almost never there except for a momentary pulse under some conditions. Sorry. But for the WAI, my latest version has no drilling. I disconnected the stock tubing at the filter box and replaced it with dryer hose, routed to the exhaust manifold. Simple and effective. I get IAT readings in the 130s and 140s.
