Sorry guys not going to make it. I have had one problem after anouther this week. Today Was all planned out. I even had room for issues.
So it started at 6:30 with a car alarm going off. nothing important just a sensor not liking the freeze we have. So while I was up I got the shop warming up.
SO I go back to bed and nap a little longer. I get up and wake up. Shower and get ready to head out to the shop. Just as I am heading out to the shop Steph asks me if I dumped water in the laundry room....
So I get the panel to the hot water heater ripped off just as it starts to spray all over....
Then spend the next few hours searching for a water heater that will fit in the hole we have to put it in. Then get raped for $500 to take it home.....
SO IF we are lucky we will get it cleaned up enough to install and have hot water before the night is over.
Needless to say the two page list of stuff we had left to do on the blue car did not even get started.
AT least Mark and DOug are here to kick me around

Aww man, sorry to hear that. 
Good luck fixing everything and better luck next year.
I'm stoked for this dyno day. I just went for a spin, and the turbos are making some mad boost in cold air. I think it will make a run for the 700 club.

Verdad Gallardo Well someone has to take the torch as Ellis nor I will be making our proposed 700rwhp pull. Good luck Chris, but watch it, your at the absolute limit of what a stock longblock can handle, well maybe not, as it's the tq that's the real killer. I killed mine with 665rwtq, and others have surpassed that, but 700rwhp... You should have a little spray set-up just in case you need to get over the hump? What time are ya showing?Robert

I went to the 76 in Auburn and made a couple freeway pulls. It's running like a beast.
There's extra boost from the cold air, possibly an extra 3psi. That should do it. I will be logging the pull with HPTuners and LC1. I'm planning for the 9 o'clock hour. How about you?

Be careful! That extra 3psi was enough to blow the ring lands out of my original LT1

or spend any time with the wife...I took it out today to find that Trick station @ Puyallup. They only had one hand pump out of a barrel, and that pump was full of leaded. So this chick was draining the lines and filter, when I said "I think I'll come back later".
