Thanks for all the input! This is my first turbo build and I appreciate you offering your experience.
I have had gears on my list for awhile. I have a 741 center with 3.55's i'll try out, but I might take you up on your offer. The car pulls hard under boost, it would be nice to stretch that out.
Transmission is an a518/46RH with a lock up 2500 stall converter.
I am happy with the drivability of the cam, but I will call bullet to compare specs.
Boost leak at the blow off is possible, haven't looked at it close yet. Wastegate has a light spring with a manual controller. I ended up putting the boost line on top of the gate to increase pressure, but a heavier spring might help too.
