I am curious as well. There was only one other comparable build (427ci / ETLS7 / F1r) that I could find on a GTO that made 1,000 through an auto. I am fairly sure we will surpass that. Either way, I will let you know. Look forward to meeting you at the mile as well. It is a way cool event.

Update, we made 905rwhp @ 16# on the new build using a 4.25" pulley. This was a tuning pull late in the day in the Texas heat - 100* with very high humidity. It actually rained earlier in the day. The previous build was 853rwhp in during the winter 73* outside. We have a 3.75" pulley on the way to see if it will make 20-21# of boost. We had 51 days this summer at 100*. Not exactly the best time of year for big numbers.
Nice looking engine bay!! What fuel fittings an lines are you using?

They are Russel fittings and hoses.

I'm just going to throw this out there. If you're tuner can't dial a SD car for every day driveability, why would you trust him with a 800+rwhp car?
The op spent several thousand on the build and didn't invest in a 2bar map? Come on.

What Taylor is doing is doing is "fudging" some number to give the MAF more range-after that it's SD.
In the grand scheme of things it's no different than we have to "fudge" numbers we don't max the dynamic cylinder air calculation when we go SD.

Taylor knows what he's doing bro-even I have though about going back to MAF.

I have had no problems with my old SD tuned car at 783rwhp or my new TT 427 running 941rwhp. Daily driveability has always been there and I see zero advantages with keeping the MAF.
Explain.

I know what he's doing and I'm saying why? Why fudge anything when the tools are already there and are being overlooked for no good reason IMO.
