I'm sorry it has taken me a long time to reply. I have to keep a tight lip on whats going on with "tabasco" right now. I'd hate to get hammered by posting iffy numbers or guess on things without getting tests done. I will keep you posted. We're estimating this late May / early June as a tentative date.

Keep you posted on new developments of my project.
Have had great conversations with fellow supercharged Solara owners:

Question...
How many pounds of boost is that turbocharged V6 Solara running? If the owner of that awesome car is reading this. Are you running boost from stock compression?
I remember reading that you were working with a shop to try to lower compression and raise boost. I didn't realize that you were trying to get your boost up as high as 10-12 psi, though. How is that project coming along? What are you doing for fuel delivery? Are you getting an upgraded fuel pump, or going the Gadget route, like JoeB?
