dude, I offered to let you ride it in the grass. 12lbs of boost and everything is a blurrrrrrrrr 
I did lengthen the rod to lower the boost level and got the reverse dialed in.
Sometime this week I need to come over and run it again before I change out the hyfax. Just to make sure I have the boost setting correct.
Pretty sure we are cancelling the U.P. family trip next week...any ideas were I should take them??

My block has bearings that have 1500 miles on them...so there basically broke in already........They looked so clean and nearly new I decided not to change them out. (purchased a matching block and crank) Top end is '05 updated with stock pistons, double head gaskets, hardened stud bolts.
I trail ride and plan on running around 10lbs of boost all the time on 93 octane.
I have temp gage..left side, boost gauge upper left, a/f upper right.
I would like to get a oil temp gauge next.

its a nice looking gauge, I want a water temp gauge for my viper but cant seem to find what I want. what brand is it, are you happy, and any close ups? how did you hook it up?
The gauge was in the sled when I purchased it from hooknbook. It is just a standard inline sensor. You just need to put it between the engine and thermostat.
All of my gauges are wired in to a fuse block. The fuse block is wired into a switched access.

Its just a standard white face. I saw some at autozone the other day. I thought about replacing mine, because it has a steel ring and its starting to rust. I want one with a plastic ring!

I get ya. I emailed autometer a while back, they recomended using the marine gauge since it would be built to take a lot more abuse and damp conditions.
I have an autometer boost gauge...I like it. Its just a standard, and I dont think you would ever have any problems with it as long as its plastic housing and not steel.
updated pictures!
