Happy for you Doug. I know you have worked hard on this car. And the first time out almost get single digits on a stock bottom end 6.0l. My 6.0l on the stand only has 70,000 on it. Thinking about just having all cleaned up and good bolts and gaskets and letting it rip. Seems to make big power from the looks of your car. Cant wait for the next video.

On the street your power would be nasty. Esspecially in my m6. Not to mention i weigh less cause i have not track safety stuff.

Thanks man Ya the 6.0 is a beast! i want to see what i can get out of it cant imagine if i was to run e85 hahahaha
Ya i didnt want to do a m6 because from what i read the s480 was "laggy" but after we built the divided/twin scroll hot side that term doesn't exist and just wait till i put this billet wheel in. Will spool even quicker than 3300 lol

Twin scroll will fix that
When I get this billet wheel I'm hoping to see 15psi about 33-3500

Using a Co2 boost controller will build boost much faster as well, or using any type of electronically activated solenoid that can hold the gate shut till a certain PSI is achieved.

The leash products are awesome.
