i agree. i swear every time i fix a leak i get 8-10 WHP. even if you put the wastegate to the intake manifold, it still makes it so much faster to seal up everything.
also helps spool-up a ton.
hey JustOne, you have some type of igniton controller? i'm getting a MSD DIS-2 (the non programmable one so i'll have to fake it with the dip switches) sometime soon and was wondering a good setting so i can run 18-20 psi of boost on pump gas (94 octane, i don't want to go higher on the 415's, my math tell me i'll need 120 psi of fuel around 21 psi of boost). like... how many degrees should i retard it under full boost? i have about 17 degrees of advance under WOT at full boost. i have no idea, but i'm guessing i should pull like 4-6 degrees? or is this one of those things that i'll just need to figure out my your own by listening for knock?

Listen for knock and keep an eye on your spark advance. I have the Crane Digital CD Ignition box. At the moment I don’t have it pulling any timing out at all. It stays at 17-19 degrees advance at WOT and full boost. The only time I ever get audible knock is when it’s like 90ish out side and even then all I pull out is about 1 deg per every 5 psi.

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.
If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good. If you want it cheap and good, it's not going to be fast. If you want it good and fast, it's not going to be cheap.
