Thanks. I just finished the car in January so I've only made 10 passes so far. 5.71 at 126 is the best with a 1.38 60'. Still a fairly conservative tune with 23# of boost. I still have to turn it up some and get my boost controller working. All test passes have been made with whatever the wastegate makes at it's lowest setting. The car should go high .20's with 23 degree heads, I'm hoping but it will take a while to get there. There have already been some 5 teen passes in ORSCA trim by N20 cars so expect 5.0's during the year. The thing about the 5 teen and faster cars is their consistency. They might go a .40 next pass.

Good luck, maybe we'll see you in ATL. I'm very impressed by how much aftermarket support you guys are getting for the LS1 stuff.
