2 very different cars for sure. The gto was a great car and I should have kept it and had both. But Then I start hitting some boost and I forget all about it. I have ruined many peoples nights with this car already. The T/a really suprises people because it sounds like a stocker with exhaust only.

Thanks guys its on its way for sure.
Its funny I got called out for a 3,000 dollar money race tonight. LOL I was thinking about it for a sec but Im not ready to swim in that pool . I heard the car runs mid - high 9`s on the bottle. Im not ready to gamble like that. I havent even been to the track with it yet

The car has put down 751 @ 15 psi with 20 deg timing
These pulls were made with 17.5-18 psi and 15 deg timing.
I tried to up the timing with the higher boost setting but the tires just started spinning on the dyno.
Got a new cam coming and a fast 102 intake to install. I should have some new numbers soon.

BTW I did change my cam to a 230/230 on xe lobes.
Looks good, very stealthy setup. We did a setup like that over a year ago 418/APS extreme. At 18lbs made 920/920 or so.
Just make sure when it's dyno'd the car is on the front side of the dyno roller. We never have spin problems.

I might be making that call this week. I do have a problem making more power since i cant get my tires to stop spinning on the dyno. 4 straps and 2 guys in the trunk... It doesnt seem to matter. Might be a suspension thing.

Where did you buy your 230/230 cam from?

Just a couple of updates on my build I changed to the 230/230 cam and installed the fast 102 intake with a 90 mm tb ( I already owned one ) .
Anyway the car put down 825/740 @ 16 #`s of boost through my unlocked tq converter
I did run into a couple of problems. I now have an injector duty cycle of 127 on my 120 # injectors So I couldnt not crank it up
I just got new injectors 2000cc so we will see how the car does with those
Keep an eye out in the next week or so for new numbers and hopefully a track outting soon.
Here are my last best dyno sheets the lower number was at 18 psi before the new mods and the higher is the new numbers at 16 psi. These are uncorected but you can see sae correction would raise the numbers alittle higher.
There was a bit of spinning which might explain the power dip at 5600 on the latest pull
