I think you could say things are getting pretty serious.

s485/100
Planning to upgrade the intercooler as well.
After 20psi I don’t see much if any improvements in the timeslips so I think I’ve hit the turbo/intercooler limits.
I need to add some sensors also (like backpressure) so I can better understand what is going on.

I expect the chiseled intercooler to be a bit more efficient than the china cooler. Looking to pick up some area under the curve.
Felt like I needed a new intercooler to match the new turbo.

Well, she is getting a cage. The lap belts alone weren’t cutting it anymore, especially if she picks up like I hope with the new turbo and intercooler. The ultimate goal is to make her legal for drag week 2019. The ambitious goal is to have her ready for shakedowns at LSFest East 2018.
Using swing outs on both door bars so they’ll be removeable. That will allow cruising without climbing over the cage and then I can bolt the bars back in when going to the track.

Turbo and intercooler are in. Just a little pre LSFest 2018 dyno to get her in the ballpark. She picked up nicely. Hopefully I’ll be able to put her in the 10s now.

Looking forward to actually meeting you this year! I won't have my Cougar with me this year, but I will come find you.
