Cars on the dyno right now, hopefully there's no issues and she does well. I'm kind of nervous.

How much boost? You may need to add a manual tensioner.

I see your problem... you deleted power steering... I did too. I sprung for the dirty dingo bracket that comes with a tensioner. Haven't thrown a belt at all.

Pretty nice numbers for 10 psi. That’s roughly 650 at the crank figuring 20% driveline loss. Nice runnin piece. Now order a meth kit!!!

Hahaah. I wonder what 16 would be as well. Lol. We will find out when I get meth in the spring when I change the intake and throttle body

Should be able to see 20-30hp per psi depending on setup/tune (so estimating between an additional 120-180hp).

The plan for the winter is get a new intake throttle body and meth, I'm happy with what the car makes for power right now, this is my first LS and turbo motor so it will give me a while to learn how to drive it at the track before winter comes and I can make the changes I want to make

First run was foot brake and I rolled the beams but it was an easy run to the 1/8th than kept my foot in it till the end, second run I used the trans brake to hold the car but was just off idle and third run with the 1.6 60 foot I was at or just shy of zero boost and about 2000rpm on the launch.
