True that. A street car may see thousands of miles a year. My car sees maybe a few hundreds a year if I'm lucky.

You guys with street cars should use as much of your hardline as possible.

The booster is working. It passes the power on check, but it's still stiff.

Like I said above, the one-way check valve is installed correctly according to the directions printed on the valve itself. So unless the printing is wrong, the valve is installed correctly.


You need to take your anger to the hundred of other threads in tech and let this one go where it may. The car is not driven on the street and I accept full responsibility for my actions on the track. Don't assume facts not in evidence. I accept a beating when I deserve it, but this thread is not where it belongs. I'm just piecing together the pieces one part at a time. I'm not driving the car like this. Relax.
