Its stock ecm and HPtuners. Carl at CJtunes here in St Paul does the tuning.

Here is the uneventfull video from the 942 pull. Through the 3.5" single exhaust.

Time to add another pump. No street time yet. Track times next weekend in Ia!

Did you get to the track? "Next Weekend" has come and gone!

He didn't go to the track. The weather forecast looked like rain. Still waiting for a reschedule date myself!

There is no reason the 76 cant make the same power, just have to put your big boy pants on and crank it up!!! The 76 definately spooled better but I dont have the tune nailed down on this one quite yet so its still up in the air a little. 1000whp to come though..

Great build!

Have you ever checked your back pressure? Curious what you see with the 2.25” pipe. I was thinking of necking down my 2.5” setup this winter for quicker spool. Just threw on a cheapo oil pressure gauge and I’m seeing around 1.3:1 at 17lbs with an 83 wheel and a 1.10 AR T4.

Also…Did that piston rod combo just drop in the factory bore? No machine work required? What did that piston/rod setup cost roughly?

Thanks!
