Finally, if you are going to race on the street, make sure it's at least a 1/4 mi. stretch, and be careful. Good Luck.
I've sworn off NO2. LOL It's to easy for me to get overzealous with it. Especially when it comes to how bad I wanna win. I'll only ever do FI or NA from now on.

The average 383 (full exhaust, ported heads, ect) doesn't pull much more than 440-450rwtq. I cannot see how one can get that with stock exhaust manifolds and heads.

I've had the car back since like late Oct I think. I mod every paycheck.

That's why I decided to hold off on the turbo and go ahead and just build up everything else first. Saving the best for last.

Especially since I've decided on the Heads I'm going to order this month and I'm still trying to figure out what cam I want. Etc etc. I'm really leaning toward that lingenfilter turbo cam.

Tuning won't be an issue now either since I'll be doing it all my self.. So Now I can do it in more efficient stages and still be able to daily drive it.

I don't know his actual HP numbers but you're right if he is lighter and more powerful that is definately an issue for me. At that point I can just hope for a BSS Error. Between Seat and Shifter error.

LOL I am actually looking forward to this run though.

Naa dude. I'll openly admit I lost IF I do.

I'm really lookin forward to my MAF and HP tuners Software to come in by mon or tuesday. So I can get to slimmin down fuel and working the timing a lil. She's just dumpin fuel right now.

I can't wait till My LT's come in. I'm going to fab my X Pipe right to them. Haven't decided if I'm going to leave the cats on there yet. As much as I've bottomed out and scraped they're probably hollow by. LOL
