If nobody has done it, it may motivate me to get the car to the track and give it a shot. I just keep driving it on the street, I drove it to work today.

Fastest A/A so far I think is you, and the Speed Inc. shop car might be 2nd with a 8.61? or so.

No 76's. 66's ran 8'6's at 18 lbs of boost. They spooled too quick for me, but they could have done it no problem. I felt it had too much back pressure with my setup.
Thanks guys for the props!!! Speed really built me a great set up. It's fun on the street. That's why the air to air and a small hyd cam. I drove it to the Speed Inc open house down the tollway and I just drove home earlier in rush hour traffic.

What size air-to-air do you have? I am doing a largeframe setup with a 6spd really soon, and need as big a intercooler as I can fit in there.

Not sure, I got it through Bell. They will custom make it to your size.

Fwiw, P-trim wheels in 66's are not "wrong", or too much backpressure for a 408 considering the cars goals at the time of the build. We've used those same turbos on many 1,150+rwhp 6-speed cars with zero issues.

As far as the intercooler, if you know your IAT's through the traps and measure the pressure drop across the core you will know how much power you are leaving on the table with the air/air.
