That STS has been beat by mopeds, mopeds with fat chicks hanging on the back. The 'Black Beast' has never lost a race, set it up, I will kick his **** in reverse.

I heard a rumor that DiabloSport is waiting for new software to display RWHP in four digits instead of three, so since you are going to be over 999RWHP, you will have to wait.

JFWY, hope this happens soon so your long labor can be rewarded!
BTW, if it happens this weekend, call me, I may run up there,,,

Whatever you do, avoid dynoing on Mondays, as that day is usually reserved for Kias and Hyundais, and the wussies that drive 'em. If I hear you went today, I may register you on the Suzuki (car) boards.
BTW, when you do go, make sure they round up your numbers, you'll need that.

Its on the dyno now.

So far, we've pulled it to 5K RPM.
Answered a couple questions, like can we hold 7 psi on these turbos, no.
Its making 10.5 PSI at 5K, and with a 10:1 A/F and a whopping 8* of spark, its making 607/630 at 5K RPM.

Leaning it out just a bit, adding a bit more timing, and rerouting the wastegates and removing the boost controller to see if we can get it nailed...
