No, a street car... although I'm sure by the end of the year it will have a cage in it, but as of right now there are no plans to go to the track other than to get kicked out.

Is the 275 class running 1/8th or 1/4?

I dont think he'll want to set it up for the 1/8th. If anything he may catch a couple of the 9.50 classes later in the year.

Nice Tim! You finally pulled the trigger. Now you can stop bugging me about buying my blower.

When you get bored with it, turn up the boost. I'm at 23psi and it's making 630rwhp/600rwtq (corrected). It feels like a completely different car in comparison to when I was running 19psi. The extra 80ft-lbs really helps.

Yep...2.76 upper with a 4lb lower. I run a mix of 110 and 93. Both are available near me
at at the pump (Sunoco). It's not a great idea to mix unleaded and leaded, but it works well.
The leaded gas is supposed to tear up the cats. So far so good though. I'm going to remove
my cats anyway.

How are you making 18psi Tim? Headers? A 2.93 upper will make 17psi and a 2.76 upper will make...or should make...19psi. BTW, the dyno vid sounds badass.

2.93 upper, stock manifolds, no cats. I was expecting 17-17.5 but pull after pull it running between 18-18.5.

Next willl probably be to add a lower + Torco, since I don't have anything over 93 at the pump locally. I also have a 2.76 ring on my old blower so I may start turning it up a little later this summer but I'm going to need a clutch first. The stock clutch seems to be holding up right now just screwing around on the street but that will change I'm sure when it goes down the track.
