2920. I added ballst and we're 3005 now, F/R is perfect with and without the ballast, LR/RR is good to go.

Fixed the TB cable pull
Fixed the loose ground on the relay board
drained the oil and cut the filter, perfect, no trash or debris

Working on knocking the dust off this sum bitch.

Game plan is if we can make ~2600hp with the new setup, @ 3000# or 2900#, this bitch should get down with the big boys.

he would probably be a tenth slower because of the drag caused by it

Shawn is a character.... We're getting a game plan together for friday... He says "I'd like to see a nice 4.80 on a soft tune up the 1st shot out, than we can start getting after it."

Did 3 transbrake tests this morning. The motor clearly makes more power than the old one, no ifs ands or buts. Before it took 2 seconds to go to 3350 with the tune right, now it goes to 3505 with pig rich A/F. in 3 seconds it made 3500 before @ 12.75:1, now 3750 with 11.75:1. Its having some weird issue where its not building alot of boost. Game plan is to pull the intercooler and all of the pipes and check for cracks. I might do one test before I get to that point though.

It's probably that funky wastegate on the intake tube

IMO it might be a crack in the intercooler and or piping. When we went out last year we had issues getting it to come up on boost but we found the seat was loose in the wastegate. There was zero air going through the wastegate on the test.

Thursday AM I am going to pull the intercooler pipes and intercooler to see if there are any cracks in the welds. I've seen it a few times, they crack and expand as it makes boost and than goes back to a fine crack as pressure drops.

actually we never swing for the fence. this is the reason we have more good passes than bad. My 4.80 comment was based off the fact we came off the trailer last year and went 4.90's with a major boost leak. If Phil has the weight right it will def go well in the 4's first hit on low boost.

I was just being facetious I'm sure you'll get it figured out!

Shawn @ VA Speed

to tell you the truth-i don't think there is a problem. He correlates boost with power and that just aint the case.

Anytime we swing for the fences it just blows the tires off of it. LOL !

That big ole crank will sure push the converter.
