Default first night out with the new turbo setup
i took the car out last weekend to see what it would do with the new setup footbraking it, and i was very impressed with it, i went 8.33 at 125 in the 1000ft and 6.50 at 115 in the 1/8th with horrible 60 fts. 1.60 and 1.70's, and it was blowing through the converter all the way down the track, i will post up more videos when i go back

Very mean car man I love it the race between you and the nitrous trans am was awesome.

I'm by no means a turbo guy but dont you think 3.73 or 3.42 gears will be better for your setup???

Thanks for sharin and keep the vids coming please.

If you had a $1 for everytime you hit the rev-limiter, you'd be a rich man....Nice car, sounds really good
