If you got some tires and a decent amount of timing 27deg or so. I think you would get some high 11s maybe mid 11s and make about 450 hp with the converter locked.
You need to get some weight out of that thing.

My timing is set (via turbo tweak tune) at 26 degrees. I have BFG DR's and they are almost bald (which is ideal for those tires) and i hook up pretty good. I dont want to do much wieght reduction....my fiance likes to ride with me and I just bought a baby seat that matches my GN seats so my daughter can ride with me too. The only think i might be willing to do is take the jack and spare tire out, lol. I want to keep it a 100% streetable. Are you selling parts off of yours? i see its going back to stock to build the pinto, what do you have available for sale if anything? Looking to upgrade the turbo, i feel like im getting to its limits as it is.

I've sold most of the go fast stuff.
I got mine down to 3104 w/o me. That with a/c, heat, cruise, full interior. I did have fiberglass bumpers, no front sway bar, light weight wheels and tires, and any thing else I could remove. I do have a low option car so that helped also.
