Boredom and 100 bucks

Though I doubt many of you will care, I figure at least one of you would be interested in what a spare camaro, an excess of boredom, some spare parts, and 100 bucks can cook up...

Man is that GHETTO, but it looks like it was fun to slap it together.

That's gotta be the most accurate comment I've heard so far

It'll be fun to drive once I work the kinks out, too.. I figure I'm getting 3-4 PSI right now, haven't touched the timing, running 87 octane, and feels about as fast as my TBI car once the boost kicks in.. without a hint of knock.

Now I just need to refine the system so the boost kicks in before 3500 rpm.. thanks to the lack of knock, I'm just going to ditch the intercooler for now, bringing it up to 6-7 psi, and hopefully lose 1500 rpm of turbo lag in the process (the intake you can't see is more ghetto than what you can.. 1500 rpm of lag is not unbelievable)
