April 8th, pickup day. At last!
I got a ride up to the shop and was greeted with the good news.
The car made 670rwhp on 6lbs of boost with plenty of room to pulley it down once everything is broken in and settled.
It runs well on e85, full 93 or anything in between.

They even made a video for the project and posted it on their Instagram page.

The car runs well, the cam is noticeable at idle but acceleration is smooth and street manners are excellent.
The kids were disappointed that the blower doesn't whine.
I broke it in on a road trip over the weekend. It's a lot of fun to drive.

One thing that was still bothering me was exhaust, there was just too much rasp at 1500rpm.
Light throttle from highway speeds was just irritating.
So, I took it to my muffler guy and we added a pair of Borla resonators, eliminated the AFM valves and the crush pipe all at once.
Exhaust tone is a lot better now, I'm happy with that change.



I later replaced the missing insulation panel under the driver's side and traded the tunnel brace for a red BMR one.

The other thing nagging at me was the 90mm snout.
Magnuson still didn't have one available, so we were running on a Lingenfelter 90mm adapter plate.
That will be resolved in the next round using a billet Katech snout when we install a smaller pulley.
