My buddies GN with a slightly smaller set up than mine (smaller cam and cyl bore)went 10:26 on 23 PSI, the trans was slipping bad under higher boost. He also had stock rotating asssembly. Mine trans is new and everything in mine is forged, so Im hoping for a 9 sec ride with working A/C

Wow,,, makes me miss my GN..... thank goodness I still have the T-type.... Can't wait to see some times..... The T-type is running a 8.0 1/8 mile, with only a mild setup.... you should be running 6.0 in that bad boy....

thanks everyone, here are a couple short vids I took today when I fired it off for the first time.







I drove it home, wow, very impressed with the throttle response and man that turbo spools like a stocker, it hit 12PSI barely putting my foot on the pedal. I cant wait to get some miles on it and really get it going. Im taking it to the engine builder first part of the week to get it dialed in the rest of the way. Its pretty close on the tune right now though. She's got 8 miles on her now.

Im going to put it back on jack stands tomorrow and go back through and re tighten all the suspension parts and engine bolts and what not. I will get my buddy to get a couple short vids for me this week sometime. It has 120 miles now so Im going to change the oil and filter too. Need to get under the dash and rewire the rats nest I made with all the gauges and other crap I stuck in there
