Looked like 325/50's???

That thing is moving out in the first 330' feet let alone 60'. And to be able to 60', 330' that well go 143 at the 660', but still have enough efficiency to gain nearly 40mph out the back door goes to show that guy at FTI knows how to build them turbo converter's!

Those are 325's. He has a set of 275-60 Hoosiers also but they weren't on the car as the last few test and tunes the prep hasn't been quit there.

Easy boost ramp. It takes about 3 seconds to all come in. With the way that the track was hooking, we could have probably brought it in a little faster.

Track looked like it was on kill. Bring it in by 2 seconds and I'd bet it cracks the 7.50 mark. I think it's amazing how quick that car is at what it weighs to the 330' and 660'. To compare Andy(LASTLS1) with the same turbo's and a lighter car went 7.50@195 and you and Steve got his going 7.6x@182 at more weight is amazing.

7.76, not 7.6. When you are going that fast, those tenths of a second are hard to get. Bringing the boost in faster would likely only drop a 1/2 tenth to one at the most. To get a 7.5 he'd need about 3-4 more psi overall.

I said it on N2S, and I'll say it again here, that is one of the baddest LSX street cars in all the land.

Oops, my bad on the times. I know the faster you go how much harder it is to gain e.t. without huge amounts more of power. How hard would you say on a scale of 1/10 is this car being pushed right now as it sits?

How are the boost controls on the Holley dominator compared to say an AMS-1000 or other high end aftermarket controller?
