It now has TFS heads, new ARP 2000 studs, ID1000 injectors and some other crap. I was tuning it this weekend and it started to push a **** ton of water. I was only blowing 14 psi of boost with 13* of timing. The compression is lower now than before, quite a bit. I really don't know what is going on but I will get to the bottom of it. I am beginning to suspect something aside from the engine. Time will tell.

Been a while since I updated. I have been tuning and racing the car. I completely re-did the suspension so the car would hook on the street. Here is how it looks at The Pad down here in New Orleans:
Have also been track testing and racing. Here is a $2200 grudge race I won this weekend, 1/8 mile:
Probably have to take the engine out though. I can't get the heads to seal and I think it is the deck surface of the block that is ultimately to blame. Sucks, but that is life.

A few updates.
First.,the car was a feature on Bang Shift this week:

I am upgrading the turbo to a Garrett GT5531-91 and I have installed new 127 pound injectors from the Fuel Injector Connection. Hoping to get out to the track in the next couple of weeks and see how it all works out. Should be running this weekend.
