I like open gates tickling the bowels of my ear drums.

What kind of sensors are you using? Mine are moujnted very close to the ports I'm pretty sure they're contacting the flame and they are pretty rock solid.... you could always take the hc approach and mount them in the dp

I would like more time as well... I won't be working on the FC for another 2 weeks....
Oh I'm in no hurry to make a new manifold. Just thought it would be pretty cool. I'd like to finally put my Millermatic 140 Autoset to good use and start practicing welding, but I have career things that are taking front seat at the moment. Yeah I like RXtacy's build. I have those wastegates too, but I was looking at recirculating them. Although, they are very useful when someone pisses me off and their windows are down so I can blow out their eardrums going WOT past them lol. Also, installing all the recirc stuff would be such a huge PITA. But I'm thinking about going with 4" exhaust all the way back but trying to make it quieter also lol.

I'm using some open tip fast reacting sensors from The Sensor Connection, but I don't remember which ones off the top of my head. They're a few inches back from the flange, but when I'm cruising on the highway, after a while they'll max out at 1900 or 2000 (I don't remember which is max), and just stay there. So I was thinking they might be too close. And occasionally they'll read pretty far off from each other. Other than that they're usually good. I'll try to resist mounting them in the DP lol.

Aren't you getting the FC ready for Deal's Gap?
