The engine builder did take it to the track.
He ran it once on the higher boost setting but couldnt hook up till past the 1/8 mile.
he ran an 11.6 at 136 with a 2.0 short time with 30 psi in the tires and no 2 step installed.
once i had my 12 point shocks, 2 step, slicks/skinnies I think I should be able to pull a low 10/high 9 within a few passes at 140+ on pump gas and 145+ on 101 oct.
That run he had was the only run he could get in until they kicked him out. Not too shaby for a shakedown run...

In general, it was a 408 setup with custom turbo pistons, hand ported afr heads, upgraded tranny parts(still t56), strange 12 bolt, gt55 turbo ( 91mm turbo), and all custom piping.
Oh, I also have a griffin intercooler and radiator.

Its kinda difficult to tell in the video he got, but I know it isnt hooking worth ****.

It wasn't hooking at all, it looked like it needed some suspension to be able to get it off the line, It was spinning the ET streets like it was nothing from what i could see.
Launching!

on pump gas its around 12.5 lbs, but I noticed when I would floor it I think I only noticed around 11.5 or so, but I never had any traction to tell if it would go to 12.5 closer to redline...
