My babies back home

Just got back from picking up my SS.It's been in the shop since 12/19.Originally I thought I blew a head gasket.The number two piston was melted below the piston rings and the cylinder wall was scarred too deep to hone.A new cylinder sleeve was installed with one new piston and new rings for all the pistons.A new spark plug and new bolts and gaskets and seals.
After assembly on test drive it was running 15 psi specs say 14.5 psi with capable 20 psi.While boost is up fuel trim short term goes up to 17 while long term always stayed at 0.

Prior to this happening my boost would peg the guage before it got many revs and fall on it's face.

Runs great.
