I Have not checked. No surge issues ... big turbine housings, seems to have a lot more in her.

Are you wondering about restriction with the turbine housing size or header pipe size ?

Congrats on the numbers. You now will be king at dyno racing! Lol, I only say that because you won't see any traction on the street until way past 100 MPH making most of it useless for the street other than bragging purposes.

Killer car though.

I drive these streets on a 12x28 Hoosier. I was putting down 800rwhp with my D1SC & Nitrous. I am sure I can pedal threw it

I'm sure you could as well. But pedalling through it vs a car that can keep his foot on the floor and keep traction with less RWHP can many times equal the less powerfull car being faster (at least at non-triple digit speeds when talking about your kind of RWHP).

Most guys see a loss of traction in the 1st few gears with half your RWHP.

Please don't misunderstand my statement; I think your car is wicked! I just think its too excessive to use on the street for a practical street car that wants to hook up at any reasonable speed.

We can also run as low as 10psi off the wastegates which net me 800rwhp. I figure we will have to test and tune, play with the boost controller to ramp the boost in for street driving. The slicks did a pretty good job last season. It's not all dig racing out my way, most of the local guys like to "roll on"

Well I'm sure its definatly a handfull at WOT, and it will be a fast ride at any rate. Congrats again with the killer numbers on pump gas.

Thanks brother !

We still have yet to ramp the boost in on the dyno. Should be able to match torque with horse power once we get 16psi steady from 3K RPM.

So, are you able to run on pump gas safely at max boost? I am assuming you are using some form of methanol injection to keep things safe on pump gas?

I was using the meth injection to help with cooling, but I figure it does boost the octane of the fuel atleast 5 points.
