As for a boost controller, I do not have one right now... We tuned for a fixed spring, and after some drive time, We'll look to stretch her legs a bit... crank the boost on to 18 or 20 psi, and intstall an electronic controller of some type...and see what we need to do to the fuel delivery to keep up with it... and possibly throw some meth in the picture... Personally I'ld rather stay on pump gas but... you do what you gotta do... It would be nice to drive anywhere I want to a track, pay the entry, tech her, and run a nine secong quarter... then drive her home... 18-20 could put me in the 1200-1300 HP range considering I'm on a very conservative tune right now, with little timing... I still have to upgrade the rest of the driveline prior to ramping her up... and if I'm not careful, that may happen sooner than I intend...  Strip the gears out and it's time for a DSS nine inch with the increased spline count axles, and a one piece drive shaft... I probably will not change the gear ratio too much... as the vast majority of my driving is and will still be on the highway... Driving 500 or a thousand miles at 3000 plus rpm isn't my idea of fun... Yeah, I'm all over the banter... Maybe we can prove the banter one way or the other some day... you aint too far away... We'll see...

I picked her up Wednesday, the day after I got home... I hit a wall after 7000 miles of travel involving a helicopter, and five other flights on various other airborne craft... When I picked her up, corey and I did a shake down drive, and then back to the shop... It was also my instructional time.... We went to the track that night and Corey made two passes, and Imade three. We data logged his two and my first one... He changed a few setttings and turned me loose... On the way to the track, I did a fly by on him, and at 80-85 mph, with the MT drag radials, I blew them off and slammed the rev limiter.. short shifter to 4th and looked like I was shot out of a cannon... This thing has crazy power... Corey first pass looked like he was pulling out of a gas station leaving the line... 2.55 60' time, and then she took off like a sidewinder missle... folks all around the start area viewing it were like...   :emot icon17:With the slow 60" and all, she still cut a 129 mph pass... There were quite a few peoplethat came out just to see her, and they were all impressed... Coreys 2nd pass was 130.97 or so... and he had a 2.2 60'... We are just logging and feeling her out... rather than trying to set records... I am still on the stock diff and it would not have been good to break it right before the fest... I made three passes, and having never driven a twin disc clutch before, I struggled a lil bit... missed 4th the first pass, still went 12.48 at 117, 2nd and third pass's I missed 2nd both times and still went 126 and these passes were also leaving the line very easy... 2000 rpm, and ease the clutch out get her rolling and then get with it... First gear is retarded... It spins up so fast, that you have to be stabbing the clutch at 4500 rpm or you will slam into the rev limiter... if you wait until 5000 rpm, it's too late... Corey and I both did this, him the first pass, and me my first pass... We will be installing a programmable shift light... The thought is partially that the needle in the factory tach is a bit heavy and is actually a little behind the engine as it's spinnning up in first gear... She winds up soooooo fast.... Her exhaust system is as quiet as a church mouse, and she keeps making power so you can't feel or really hear the shift point... I lined up next to a SRT8 Chally, and he did a blazing burnout.. I rolled off the line very easy and he leaped out to a four or five car length lead... He probably figured he just smoked a Camaro... I shifted into second and stood on it.. Hit third, smoked by the chally at the 1/8 mile and trapped the quarter in 12.XX at 126 to his trap speed of 98 or something... My fastest ever stock speed in the 1/4 was 113 mph... I was either shifting into 4th, or redlining third at the finish line... We are now shifting into 4th maybe 100' past the 1/8 mile at 113-114 mph... This Girl Flies...

Great build...all you need now is an adequate suspension to plant all of that new found power to the ground - and practice, practice, practice!

Lil while, but we have solid aluminum sub frame bushings, sways, toe rods, trailing arms, drop springs, delrin diff bushings etc... She hooks really well, just lots of power... The tires are struggling to keep up...
