Cold starts will start to really suffer as you get down around 17-18 and below.
Yeah its not a daily driver anymore. Just used as a puller and what not. The pump is cranked as far as it will go with out running away. and we are fabbing up some tube headers for it so we can move the turbo in top of the motor. Stud will be a must once we get the turbo to successfully lite. the most boost we have had was 5 lbs. We have plenty of fuel to lite it, its just that we were in a hurry and used flex pipe that was way to long for the drive.
