Yea, the car rides really good, I'm currently not running a filter, we are going to figure out a way over winter to adapt a filter to it......the screen took away too much HP.....I just got to be really really careful where I drive.....

I took it for a 30 min cruise tonight, the thing is crazy, I basically see the shift light instantly, I had to set it down lower to get more accurate shifting......defiently caught me by suprise the first time I nailed it......I could not get my 28x12.5x15 et streets to hook up until the very top of 2nd.....tires got warm I guess

I have not got a solid chance to look at the boost gauge yet, but its for sure instantly hitting 15psi +

Fuel is good, I looked under the car today and took a look at the new system, its crazy

After I gather more cash in a few months I'm going to order a TCT 3800 or 4000
With just the converter swap I should pick up about 30rwhp I figure, and most important a lot of MPH at the track, my current P.i. is sloppin up power up top

If the fuel looks good I'm also considering putting a 3.2" pulley on it.......

Yea, I'm still planning for Saturday.....

Its streetable, I just have no filter on the blower, the inlet is about 1/2" away fromt the fan shroud......so its gonna be hard to objects to work their way in there.......but the thing does suck pretty hard.....I guess the shroud was getting pulled up against the inlet of the blower on the dyno.......

I don't drive my car in rain or around construction etc, I also never tail people, mostly because of fear of rear ending driving w/skinnies all the time and also because of people throwing rocks up.......

Can you just run a filter for the street and then take it off for the track?

BOS!!!!!!!!!!!!! did i see you driving that East on Nerge Ave. in Schaumburg last night???? i passed by the intersection of Devon and Meachum on my way home. i had my window up and the radio on going West when i saw a BEAST of a car cruise by the other way. i had wished i saw it coming so i could have put my window down to hear it. heck, i might have even done a u-turn and chased you down, if it was you that is. it was like like after 7 o'clock. from what i heard, it sounded KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
let me know if it was you or not.

thanks,
Dave
