The last time is was on the dyno (and the belt wasn't slipping) it made 783. However, I was down 2.5-3 pounds (12 down from 15ish) and that was when we discovered the fuel pressure problem. We dropped down in pulley size to 3.75" and it brought the boost back up to around 16 pounds.
Since then we have fixed the fuel pressure problem, and *HOPEFULLY* resolved the belt slip as well. The most recent issue has been the main belt trying to walk off a rib on the crank pulley, but we've installed a manual tensioner, and are confident that it will solve the problem. ... Hoping to get it back to "Frost" very soon for final tuning and new numbers.

Been awhile since this has been updated... Car is back up and running after the F1 decided to eat itself. Waiting for tax money to send my 80 to Transformance for a rebuild and brake.
Car was just put back on the dyno this week, but it continues to have belt slip problems @ 6,000 rpm. Car is only making 14 pounds on the rollers, but on the street it's a healthy 17/18 pounds. Hoping to get this thing at the track early spring.

Thanks! The 80 that's in the car now won't make a 2-3 shift under boost, so like I said once the tax returns comes in, it's being shipped off to be rebuilt and fitted with a brake. Should be able to get it to the track soon after that.

wow. 780 is badass. Sounds like you could still turn the boost up a little if you want. May be able to play with the intake hat some, or check the FMIC for before and after psi, and see what you can do to get it to 16 or 17. Good luck with the new trans. I get mine this month too!

Was just wondering if anyone who's following the thread is running a 4L80 w/ an aftermarket shifter? I want to run something like the the TCI Outlaw, but not sure what's all involved as far as fitment w/ the console.
