9-sec turbo G8 Quick video of my friend's car. This was the first night out with the 2-step and transbrake, so there is some tweaking to do. Once the air cools off, and the launch is a little more dialed in, he will be shooting for the G8 record, which is a 9.3 I believe. Car made 921whp on 19psi.
Good start, ya it should pickup a bit more when you turn the boost up. I ran up to 26PSI on the 88mm before it ran outta steam.
Trap seems slow for 921whp, I don't think I even made 800hp and I was north of 140MPH. I went 9.5 with a 5.3L and a Chinese 88 off the footbrake and no 2 step, not really needed as a T4 88 spools up fine off the line. I figured a bigger engine and a real PT88 would run out the back a little more. Be interesting what it runs once its turned up to compare to the On3 88mm results.

This is why dynos are always to be taken with a grain of salt. I don't even know what kind of dyno he dynoed on. It's a heavy pig with him in it. They were having some small issues with the converter locking up a little early, but like I said, his first night out with it all on that setup.
