Well the ignition was cutting out at 6000 rpm. Jim thought it was the coils "LS7". So we needed a set of truck coils. Lucky for me me wife works a few miles away and drives a Yukon! 
So I drove over and stole them while she was working!!! It solved the problem. It went right up to 7350, no problem! It kept pulling but Jim didn't want to push the hyd roller.
Oh and the throttle position sensor was fubar. The 3.73 gears aren't hepling me either. I need a 3.23 9". If Billingsley will ever call me back I'll order one.
Also I'm using copper head gaskets. No oring or receiver groove. They were leaking.
. I didn't want to push the gaskets anymore, so we left it until I get a new set of cometics. The boost was running off the waste gate springs. It was the lowest setting, we didn't turn it up at all. The car sounds unreal. 
It spools up so fast it's unreal!
I'm really happy. I have to thank Tom, Jim, Dan and Larry. They talked me into this set up and I think it's going to be alot of fun. Tom is the best guy in our business to work with. Went I get the new gaskets in I'll bring it back and turn up the wick!

Damn good results. Hope I do good with my Procharged 408. Not as good as you but something to shoot for. Awesome results. Are those final, or you still have tuning to do??

No I'm at 18 lbs of boost. I plan on running around 24lbs. I need new head gaskets first. Copper gaskets suck!

Once the little bugs are fixed I'll turn it up, but I'm very pleased with the initial results.

So am I!
BTW my wife asked me if she needs her parts back for her truck to run! I felt bad, but I had to ask her how she got home. I got in trouble for that comment. lol

I'm going to try the gas filled cometics. That's what I wanted in the first place. LME said they have had good luck with the copper ones used in my motor. I think Steven used them in this car before he oringed? I didn't have a good feeling about them going into it. Oh well.
Jim wants to try the cometics.
BOSS APPROVED!

Yea with the coolant leaking and that road at 5:00, I didn't want to make a real blast. I'm not crazy about that road. I know people do it all the time but there is so many cars and trucks pulling in and out of those lots all the time!
I can't wait to get the car out on the road!!
Congrats. Outstanding power.
I'm using the Cometics without any problems at 17lbs.
What was Speed's secret to keeping the car from blowing off the tires on the dyno. We can't get mine to stick to the dyno after about 810 - best was 875 smoking the tires? We have tried 2 friends in the back end, tying down the wheelie bars. Any suggestions - except rolling the car almost off the back side of dyno - we are not that crazy about dyno numbers.
