Thanks. Yeah it was about 50 and real windy yesterday. The 60 foots sucked because i couldnt leave on much boost. The track sucked damn cold weather.

I read about some turbo builds and it makes me unsure of what route to go. I still think Whipple...the whine, instant tq, and the exhaust through headers. Guess I'll decide when I get to that point...
Very nice set up!

Looks like the last run was better out of the hole.

I shook the main bearings out of my 5.7 twice. I got a new converter and installed a mid plate, put a 5.3 in it shook the mains out of it in 2 1/2 passes. So we figured out it was the crank adapter. So i bought a new converter with a ls1 snout on it and put a junkyard 4.8 bottom end in my car and have made 25 or more passes. The new converter fixed the problem.
