It's ALIVE Got the car to the dyno last Friday. Only had an hour on the engine and the tune needs a lot of work, the A/F was in the bottom 10's. The dyno was with only 15psi of boost. I cant wait to see what its like with another 6-8 psi.
I was really happy with the intercooler. The increase in inlet temperature from when I turn the ignition on before the car starts until the end of the runs was only 5 degree's. As you can see the coating is really doing a nice job also. I did make a couple of passes the next day. Nothing special I was leaving really soft and only running 10psi. I found a lot of little things that need to be worked out. I hope to have the car back out in a week.

one reason the torque is low is because I came in so slowly with the boost.
I was surprised the dyno show it nosing over so soon. It doesnt feel like it noses over. I ran it to 6900 on one of the passes and it still felt like a freight train with only 10psi.
Here is the link to the build thread all the details are in it.

Awesome Ray! I think it's hilarious your making a 1/4 mile pass with a 91mm turbo and STREET RIMS, lol. But it does look like a 28" tire in the back, kind of like a super sleeper look. Seems like your build came together relatively fast, way to go man!
what motor do you have ? with another 6-8 psi there would be a big probability of lifting heads on a 4 bolt cylinder head, unless it is o ringed.
anyway congrats on the numbers.
