I Love the car! Did you run exhaust on it, or it right of the turbo?

It made 590 rwhp on 9 psi with the th400, and 9 inch.

Never got back on the dyno with more boost, and now im changin up the gear, and re stalling the converter, and then i will retune with more boost. Should be well into the 700's on the 76mm with the th400, and 9 inch that is pretty good. Should have some low 9's in it for sure.
