To answer a few of the questions that have been asked.. The engine sees full boost at around 4700 rpm. I will take some pics of the dyno graphs next time i am there, the rpm pickup doesn't work on that dyno so they are just based on speed. Yes I have a pump/sprayer setup on my t56, it turns on at 4k rpm. The camshaft is a comp lsr 227 / 223 .614/.610 115 LSA.
The car is a lot of fun on the street i've been driving it around a lot and I love it. Put a couple bus lengths on a mid 90s mustang that floored it next to me the other day, i just rolled into 3rd and shot past him like he was on the brakes. Only thing I don't like about the car is the spool, makes it kind of a pain in parking lots and doing u turns. It's not that bad, but i do wish there was an lsd available that would hold up.

Strange told me the tru trac wouldn't hold up to 1000+ with a 6 speed. they said spool was my only option.
Jess has not ridden in the car since i turboed it she will though. We are planning on lining up on the highway soon, my car vs her supra. I gotta get a set of drag radials first though, these old slicks aren't worth a **** on the highway.

ya, I didnt see the question about going to a truecrap, you can try it. But alot of people have with less power and going slower, had them fail, and like the spool better. I almost crashed my car a few times, with a true crap. keep them for rock crawlers or some ****. M6 hit only the passenger side driving, is not fun. Spool all the way.

Yep thats basically what i've heard from everyone, that the tru trac and wave trac will not hold up at all for me.
I've been out of the country for a week, get back tomorrow and the first thing im doing is getting the interior pulled apart and bringing it to the chassis shop. As soon as the cage, chute, ds loop, etc are done it is going straight to the track. I can't wait to see how it does, it will be a challenge with the amount of torque this car makes but luckily with the Motec ecu i can setup gear/rpm based timing tables to control power as well as very precise boost control should help.

Man I wish I could fast forward. Out of the gate what are you hoping for? With your driving I have no doubt you will get the record!
Will this one end up going methanol like the Supra?

still saving up to get the cage done..i could go to the track and do some 1/8th mile hits i guess but i'd rather get the cage and chassis work done first to avoid twisting the car up.
