Oh come on now Mike. The car has yet to see that track as a turbo car. and I would say as a Procharged car it was probably 50/50 street track And I plan on it being about the same now.

I was thinking about hangin part of it on the wall
Took advantage of a clean car and an empty parking garage Friday AM
Now that I am home from Ocean City cruise weekend it is time to start working on some WOT tunning. Should be track ready in about 2 weeks
Now that I am home from Ocean City cruise weekend it is time to start working on some WOT tunning. Should be track ready in about 2 weeks
Well made my first track outting last night to work on the tune and shake down the car. Made 4 passes none of which where very impressive but car has lost of potential. First 2 passes I left off idle building no boost off the line.
1st
1.961 60'
7.49 1/8
106.26 mph
11.244 1/4
113.10 mph On the brakes
2nd
1.943 60'
7.54 1/8
103.71 mph
11.233 1/4
134.89 mph
3rd Left off the trans brake at 3200rpm saw 3 psi spun and peddaled it
1.970 60'
7.257 1/8
107.04 mph
10.966 1/4
124 mph Let off before the 1/4
4th Pass at the suggestion of Fireball I upped the 2 step to 3800rpm saw 4 psi on the brake. And Spun BAD out of the hole aborted the run.
Over all it was a good learning experiance for my first time out with the turbo. I only saw 8.5 psi all the runs. Looking back at the logs I shifted into 2nd just over 5k rpm and shifted into 3rd around 5800rpm. I was also lifting in 3rd at the big end. 2 of the 3 logs showed me lifting to 80% throttle in 3rd when I makign some passes. I syked myself out on the first couple passes caues it had been 1 year since I had made a pass in my car and this was one completely new setup so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Hoping to get back in the next few weeks on a better preped track.

I agree, lots of potential when you get it dialed in. 138 + mph on 8.5 lbs of boost, just wait until you get into the sweet spot of the compressor map 
Glad to see you finally got it buttoned up to enjoy it, afterall thats more important than setting records or new best.

325 50 15 MT radials
is that because you're making a **** ton more power? you certainly cant say an S/C car is tamer...
Well I went to Cecil and Made all my licensing passes. Just need to send in all my paper work and money and I am legal to run in the 9s
I am having some issues with the 2 step causing the car to break up under boost so I ended up removing it last night for my last 2 passes so No trans brake launches and only did some light foot braking. Got my last to passes by MPH.
All passes were on 8.5 psi and my 325 50 15 MT radial. I need to work on the suspension more to get it dialed in to hook on the radial. Also on the foot brake launches I was not into boost at the line and the car didn't come alive until 60-80' out
My 2 full passes were as follows
1.946
7.124
106.99mph
10.749
136.86mph
1.819
7.037
109.48 mph
10.596
139.27 mph
Once I get the suspension sorted out and the 2 step issue figured out the car should do easy 9's.
also noticed today when unloading the car that I have an exhaust leak at the flange on my passanger side manifold to crossover. Gonna get this stuff fixed and get a manual boost contoller and head back to the track.
Here are a couple GOPRO video's form last night

Well to answer some of the questions you guys have posted I enjoyed how simple the procharger set up is but I enjoy something that isn't as violent with power delivery I can actually hook this thing up on the street.
Went back to the track last night. Still having issues with the car breaking up with my LPE 2 step installed. Run great with it removed. I have done everything LPE says to try and fix the issues and it still gives me problems. waiting to hear back from them now
