Joe's shop is maybe 3 minutes from the track. If your leaving the track turn left, make a quick right turn at the gas station, go 2 miles and he is on the right.

Went over to see Joe tonight to get some inital numbers on low boost. I had the boost controller hooked up with every intention of 18-22# of boost but we didn't get there. First pull the car made 750rwhp with Joe letting out of it early to make sure all the systems were working correctly. We made about 10 pulls making small tweaks after each run. We ended up picking up 350rwhp from fuel and timing changes alone. The last pull the car made a ROCK solid 1100hp from 6k to about 9k with about 13# of boost on the last pull. As soon as boost came on solid the car was making 1100 and didn't tail off. We're going to pull the pan and valve covers to check the bearings and rockers to make sure everything looks good.

Can't say enough about Joe but he is a great guy with an abundance of knowledge.

Now what will this motor make on 25-30# of boost?

Nice progress. Would love to hear that thing singing @ 9K!!!

Wicked.

At 13#'s I bet you can get well in to the 8's with that power/weight. So 30#'s is gonna be flat out nasty!! Congrats man.

Wow, to say the least. That's going to be even more insane when you really crank it up. With you mentioning checking the rockers I'm guessing this is a solid roller setup?

We're going to change out the wastegate springs for some small blues to try and get the boost down for launching the car. I don't think it will leave clean with 13# of boost.
