Default Big Red... she lives! BUWAHAHAA! *pics*

Well, ole Big Red was fired up today and taken for a couple of test runs.
Still having the boost creep issue.
Going to try a few more things tomorrow with the exhaust and the waste gate.

It made over 300hp well before getting into the peak RPM range... had to chop it because of boost creep.

This bike is going to drive me crazy!

Might take it out one night this week... she likes the cool, dry weather

Do you know why you are getting boost creep? I'm glad to see it running again.

Good ole Fordified had a few ideas for me:

Gate is too small

Exhaust path after the gate is restrictive, not allowing the gate to flow enough.

Poor gate location. Is the gate bleeding off of 1 cylinder? Is the gate exit 90 degrees to exhaust flow?

Downpipe is restrictive.
