Congrats!! Can't wait to see the videos
Is your tune 2 bar or 3 bar? Forgive me if you'd already stated this.

If it's not raining tomorrow I'll try and take a video. I was surprised how fast it felt with such low timing in it honestly. Didn't see any knock retard worth mentioning all day even once it started getting warm and iat started climbing a little.
Really happy with how it's turned out so far

Been driving it the last few days on wastegate pressure only
Feels pretty quick even at 7-8 psi

Had to sort out a few little problems with my overflow tank and steam lines but everything's doing fine so far.
Getting better mileage on e85 with big injectors and 2 turbos than I was with the maggie setup
Super happy with how it's turned out so far

Well the fun only lasted a few days
Blew a headgasket this afternoon

Not sure why it popped, wasn't even playing in it, just driving to work.
Already have a new one on, just finishing up putting it all back together.
Head is flat still, deck looks fine, just blew on the #4 cylinder for some reason.

Sorry to hear that man, looks like you want it back on the road fast! Were you using studs? Too much timing you think?

Using arp bolts
Only has 13 degrees of timing on e85

It got pretty hot running around town, think that's what killed it

Went to the track tonight to try and see what kind of power it's making

Track wasn't working worth a ****, spinning the whole time

On wastegate it went 11.8 at 126, leaving at idle still spinning
Upped it to 15psi and went 11.4 at 134
Made a pass at 18 psi and it trapped 3 more mph in the 1/8th but only trapped 137 after it started to spin again in third

I think it will go 140 at 18 if I go to a decently prepped track, it's definitely making some good power to haul my 4000 lb car to 137 leaving on 16 inches of vacuum

Solid results! Thanks for the update.

For a comparison, my GTO with an iron block and 4L80 went 145mph with 706hp to the tires. That was unlocked and on a pretty stingy dyno.

Now we're having fun! Excellent results, considering the poor track conditions.

Put the car on the dyno today
Had a little trouble getting it to load the turbos, ended up bumping up the duty cycle quite a bit to get it up to 17.8 psi
Made 730/670 with 14* of timing with the converter unlocked
I've run it up to 19-20 on the street but I didn't want to mess with the controller too much more
A friends forged 6.0 swapped fox made 830 at 20 psi right after I got off the dyno
Pretty happy with the results
