I see you decided to relocate your wastegate with the new setup Curt. Do you think that will be a better location for control or was it just for aesthetic appeal? Definitely look cleaner that way.

The wastegate location before was defiently better but it was much easier doing it this way and will still control down to 6 psi.

You play around with the timing off the 2step or even before it will make that thing spool completely different. There are tons of threads on YB talking about it check it out. That or maybe your converter is too hardcore lol

That's great I'm sure you can't launch much more than 10psi anyways without those tires spinning. But gotta say the new mt drag radials you have hook very well.

Looking great Curt! I am interested to see the differences with going to a 2" crossover pipe. I am looking at running that size or maybe just slightly bigger at 2.25" on mine.

Went up to Slowhawks dyno day a couple weeks ago. Made 851/737 on ~14psi through the 2" hotpipes

Went to the track Saturday. Did my licensing passes and also got a new PB. Went a 1.30 and 1.31 60' during the licensing passes but went hard left one pass and kept going up on the other. Tried to limit it more but then it spun. Dropped the launch boost down a little for the last pass and ran it all the way out.

The car looked AWESOME man. I still can't get over how tame that thing is at the line until its up on boost.

Badass for sure.
