Did I miss something?? What's going on? When did something happen to make you think this?

Remember when Buckshot was going through a similar stage about his cars? He didn't touch his car for a month and slowly came back into it.
He was able to put his attention where he needed while he was on vacation from the car. Now he's back into it and better than before, IMO.
I know what it's like to spend alot of time working on something that never seems to get anywhere. Yet when it all comes out, no matter the investment, I am so proud of what I was able to do with something I love so much. It's a pain in the ass, I know, but it's worth it to stick it out.
And please don't part out an SVT, it is worth saving as a whole. It'd be like parting out the Statue of Liberty to make pennies. Everyone get's a piece but the original glory is lost forever.

I'm betting my 1/2 return line isn't draining fast enough. I have a -4an feed with a restrictor. After reading up on turbomustangs.com, I found a ton of guys that are running T3's with the same problem unless they had a -10an or larger return line.
