Yea its good stuff thats for sure, only thing is make sure you wear some rubber gloves when handling this stuff. Its like fiberglass insulation and will make you itch like crazy.

Ha, 11 sec car @ 137mph on 8.7psi
Just turned it up to 12psi and it feels way better on the street for sure.
60fts are killing me and plus my rear frame is twisted and id like to get it correct before getting serious about trying to lay down some good 60' hits. I think im going to get it straight by cutting off the old frame connectors, putting new ones on, and then put a 6 point cage in to try to keep it straight.
I can tell I had a issue right away when i was trying to set ride height, my driver side rear coil over is 1.5 " higher than passenger side. Spring is compressed nearly 2 inches more than passenger. And without anti -roll bar hooked up the car is dangerous the passenger rear collapses. So i run around all the time with it hooked up and it does good on the street. But i know in my head the **** isnt right...
But all this will have to be fixed during winter cuz im not ripping it apart right now.
Ill go to track soon and try to leave off trans brake when its just coming into boost if possible. If not ill have to get a 2 step and thats another thing to add to my winter list.

video of the 11 sec pass
Car has went 10.7 as a best with 2.0 60tf and the computer pulling all the timing out at 60mph thinking it needed to shift.
So it could definitely go low 10s on 8 psi

Yea I can get it to sit level when i put the jack stands in correct place under frame, and let the weight hang from the rear then in levels out. My drivers jackstand hits frame first then i have like 1 inch gap on passenger side. Weight goes down and it sits on the stand. So i know i can get it straight but gotta take the old connectors off cuz who the hell knows how they were put on and that could be why its so bad. Im gonna get the right connectors to..

I've installed many of those MM subframe connectors as well as the cheapo subframes. There comparison in stiffness between the MMs and the cheapos is dramatic. I always thought my cheapo subframes worked well until I installed the MM units, and from then on, I have only bought the MM units.
