That would be awesome but I don't think it will do it. For some reason 60mph is the cars most efficient mph??? I think it has to do to the very large intake ports and intake runners? I think it needs the velocity to work with the ultra lean burn?

Anyway I did some race fuel testing today and blew off two charge pipes back to back. I re-beaded them and they should hold to 55 psi.
Here is one of my home made tools for doing boost leak testing.

Good old can of tuna works every time.lol
