Nice job, looks good, that graph looks a bit peeky but looks like it will be fun. How fast did ya'll spin the motor too? Looked like it still had some in it.

Peaky........thats funny...perhaps the dancing was what was really peaky!! That was a pump gas tune at only 18 pounds on a 92 degree day on a mustang dyno at only 6K RPM. This car has another two to three hundred horsepower in it. The street tune will only run at 18 pounds but the track tune will be around 22 to 25 pounds!

at the rate you are going, you will be out of turbo before the track tune is done.

that was meant as a compliment. take it as such. you're making some impressive power early on. I can only imagine what a high boost race tune will make.

It's all good.........if we had opted for 76's we would be looking at over 30 pounds of boost and pushing the motor to 7500RPM. Not interested....want a nice save tune and not push the limits just for more horsepower.

Sorry really didn't mean to be but that graph is as smooth as a baby's butt no peaks or valleys and the turbos have not even hit their max efficieny range yet!

There is a lot of work yet to do. It's about 85% completed. Now it gets a lot of street miles to make sure nothing leaks and nothing melts. Looking at heat issues and cooling issues. I expect I will take actual delivery sometime in August. I do think there will be a lot more video but nothing for awhile.
