Thanks! This GTO is up on the dyno now, in the middle of part throttle tuning and chasing down some wiring problems where we integrated the BS3 with the factory computer to work the gauges. Bob

No yet, we'll scale it after we get it off the dyno.

You should make it to the Shootout!

Bob...Made it out to the track Sunday. Shreded the blower belt on the 4th pass. Going to get the pulley machined and swap the belt this week. I should have bought a bigger set of ***** with my new blower belt, this thing is a BEAST!

Lol, I knew it would be fast! Those cars don't weigh much. Let us know how it runs once you get the pulley machined.

Thanks! The carbon fiber valve covers that we bought for this GTO are leaking oil on the dyno! We tried replacing the driver side cover with one of the same carbon fiber covers from my Camaro, and it is still leaking. We're not talking about a little leak, there is a puddle under the dyno. We ordered a set of GM aluminum covers and Trickflow spacers for now, as time is crucial to get this car tuned for the Shootout.

We tried several thnigs to keep them from leaking on this engine as well, as they still leaked as well. We replaced them with aluminum covers and it's finally sealed up. Bob

It is currently at 809 rwhp on 93 octane fuel and 16 degrees of timing, we haven't added methanol injection to it yet. It'll be making more power as we progress with it. Bob
