I went to the Oklahoma Streetcar Takeover and managed to win the 9.50 index again. I had to pull a car bit of power but I am way out gunned for the true street class so this is the best class for my car.

It made more power with less fuel and less boost. It previously took 28psi to make 1004rwhp and made 1060rwhp on 26psi. I am having a little bit of an issue with back pressure so I am currently switching to a 5” fender exit. I would think that it will pick up more with that.

Very nice. I’m running the same intake. Hoping to dyno it within the next week or two

Kyle posted pics of my car in the pits the day of the event but that wasn’t me racing against streetcarjoe. is that the video you are talking about? I am a mid-8 sec car and no way I can remotely complete in today’s True Street classes down here.

Thanks. It is still the 347 and weighs 3550 w/o me in the car. It is a HEAVY pig and need to take some weight out of the car without compromising too much on the streetcar element.

Hell, I don't think that's bad at all for a street car. That is around the weight I want to be at first coming out. I was and still is shooting for a 3800lbs race weight. Hell, your in the 8's with that and a 347. I think that's dope.
Very little progress on mine. I'm over here jelly.

I got the bezel from Los Vasquez off Facebook. He makes bezels for all kinds of cars. It comes with a somewhat rough finish so I filled/sanded it and then made the carbon fiber inserts.
