Finally started working on this thing again. Took my Christmas money and invested in a matching set of 17" weld rt-s wheels to match the rears. I also am in the process of hooking up a line lock and proportioning valve. I made it to the track once in late october this year for its first passes and found some bugs. The rear brakes are getting too much fluid/pressure making it hard to do a decent burnout to heat up the tires, it also made for some scary braking on the big end cuz it'd lock up the rear if I got on em too hard. Anyhow, even leaving off the foot brake on cold tires, I pedaled it to an 11.03@148, lol basically spinning the whole track. Can't wait til it's warm again and I can really start tuning the chassis. It's still on its base tune also!!!

Dr. Phil tunes it. I dont really mess with the engine tuning, I do tweak the trans shift tables and other stuff, but fueling and whatnot I leave to Phil

Just a little update. Finally got rid of the cxracing intercooler as I think it was holding me back up top and became the bottleneck. New core is 5" thick and should no longer be an issue. I also went 4" pipe from the turbo to the throttle body and v banded it at the throttle and end tanks
