Default Success with an 8.8 and over 550rwhp...

I'm just curious how many people are having success with an 8.8 while throwing more than 550rwhp at it. I'm hoping to hit around 650rwhp with mine, once I finish tuning the car. I just ordered a Wavetrac for my build, so worst case I guess I'll find out for myself...but I'm hoping to hear from some folks that have really beat on these in f-body cars.

Thanks in advance for any informative replies.

Nobody? I'm surprised....I was thinking that there would have been more than a few folks here that have beat on these in their cars.

Im sitting about 420 in an A4. Ive been pulling low 1.5 60's for almost 2 years on a 28 spline carrier and stock mustang clutch packs and gm axles... Im probably on borrowed time but we will see.

I plan on spraying 100-125 shot this month. Ill let you know how that goes.

Just got back from a long weekend to find that the UPS Santa left me a present. Time to get this 8.8 swap moving along!
