Yes, with the 2 stage rev limiter on your ignition(you do have the Crane right?). One is for off the line, the other is for under acceleration. If you hold down the gas pedal while stopped, you'll bounce off you set limiter and build a bit of boost.....tried to sum it up best I could...

Current status: Drive-able, only 9-10psi (on 8.6:1 sucks!)

I sent the DFI to HRC and they sent it to Accel. I talked to HRC yesterday (Wednesday) and Brad told me that they should be getting it either yesterday or today. So, the jury is still in deliberation but I should find out the verdict today or tomorrow (hopefully).

I am not holding my breath though. I have already started to acquire all the stuff I need for the 8-injector setup and I am also looking into water injection as well.

I saw your pictures of your pistons that sucks ass man. I'll beat you where as pissed as I was when my dfi went. Hazards of the hobby i guess. I don’t think you will be having any more issues w/ the new one though. Good to see your up and running hopefully I can get 100% in a couple of weeks or so. I will post the verdict when I hear from HRC.

cool cool, hope all turns out well, it would be cool if they just straight out warrantied that shit. probably would cost more to lose a customer than to just fix the unit. man the break in agony begins again! i only got 176 miles on the car after the rebuild! DOH!!!

Just wanted to say i love how you installed those on the headliner. I was thinking of putting my boost controller (when i go turbo =( ) above my visor.
