The throttle response is insane. So, I set the 2 step at 3,800rpm. Before I could quickly get the clutch out, its sitting on 8000rpm.
Snapped first gear off. Fixed it. Brought it back to the track, Did a real slow easy out clutch pass, missed 2nd. Power felt good, Lined it back up for 2nd pass... snap!! trans output shaft (G-Tech) and diff housing. Ordered a new G-Tech shaft, had trans and rear rebuilt. So, headed back to the track next 2 -3 weeks.
Car is 100%, but the power its making is tormenting the driveline. I may end up w/an auto before its all said and done.
look for a vid in a few weeks.
A few pics:

here is a vid while he was tuning it. A bit dirty from sitting in this vid. Scroll down to Jan 4 vid.

Excellent, thanks for the update. What did you tweak to go from the 597# to the 648#?
Im currently considering mast 265 medium bore ls7 or the 245 cathedral for my setup. That’s what sparked my interest in your build

the power making parts added were:
NW102 SC TB, camshaft, custom built intake tract, removed MAF, VP109(was on Sunoco110), modified oil pump pickup for high RPM oiling, oil restricted pushrods.
Rick is a very competent tuner.
