I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get all the power you need to run 9.0's very quickly into the run. Question really will be can you plant it and use it all. I remember MM telling me he launches with 17psi to get the 1.29-1.32 60's he cut's on the 15's. You have an E-boost2 also right?

Wow 17psi that tells me I have to work on my cars suspension. 4 psi on the 2 step just kills the tires. But the track was cold that day. Yes I run a eboost 2

Top secret no pics for you lmao there will be almost no cutting that is if I use OFI turbo headers. But if not I'll be putting the turbo in the battery ready for sure. Down pipe on the PS no matter what I use

Been off here for awhile. Congrats on the new baby Tom! Be following a bit as you progress on the new build.

My car is in storage for winter back in Saskatchewan. Worry about bringing it out here next spring.
Just found out that the local 1/8 mile track that is like 15 minutes out and has been here for years and years might be closing down! That would hugely suck as one big reason wanted to move here. That would leave think closest 1/4 mile track Mission BC at like 4 hours from me?
Oh well see what happens next spring.
A nice single setup certainly would be a lot easier to service and work on.But think will stick with my current setup as long a its working ok for me.Or could just change heads and cam and run the 427 NA and it would be pretty good too I think. But do like my blowoffs and turbo noises and the LG turbos did seem to be working pretty good.
