The placement of the decal is like the car version of a tramp stamp
. I'm hoping I can hit 10.99@130mph. Really not sure of what it can do until I get it out there. The car pulls hard when spooled. Still trying to get some seat time for it and haven't practiced launching yet.
I found a video. I didn't recognize the car I ran in it, but that is the banner that was on the car.

Panera bread on one side of town, drop box on the other.

WOW!!!. 10.99 AT 130 mph, seat time that's more like stimulator time cus your flyin. Awesome ride, poor SOB was dead when he left his driveway, he just didn't know it is all.

I know Dan is itching for a shot at me. Hard doing things this cold and just trying to find the time around the holidays is a pain. i'm more available during the day hours than at night 
.Thanks and Yeah if the guy didn't rev at me first then I wouldn't have even posted this story.
Like I said, I think it has it in it comparing to some other guys builds to mine and talking to Larry@AMS, but I'll never know until I bring it to the strip and run it. Usually turbo guys trap a higher MPH for a similar time compared to some HCI/Nitrous guys.

I have another puppy kicking story and it didn't seem fit to make another post. I flew into town the other night and when i got home decided to take the TA out for one more drive. I go fill her up and am heading back home. I come across a green mustang gt(probably an 06-07) with exhaust and some cosmetic things(hood pins/rear window vent thingys). So we pace for a little bit and he gives a rev, I give one back. I let him take the hit and I ease into it to minimize spin and let the boost build up with the converter unlocked. I walk past him like he was standing still. Quicker than when I put lengths on the import patrol TA. We slow down a little later and get caught at a redlight with people in front of us. He rolled down the window and said "That thing is really fast, my mustang is dog **** slow". I said "I got quite a bit in it and your mustang's exhaust sound really good." He went on to say he has some headers and intake along with the catback. He was a pretty cool guy about it and I gave him the thumbs up for an entertaining puppy kicking.

Thanks guys, much appreciated
Yep, I was dyno tuned on AMS's mustang dyno. It reads considerably lower than their dynojet, but still made decent power. At 15.7psi I made 613whp/658wtq however, I'm having quite a bit of backpressure so my power drops as boost tapers toward redline. I'm picking up a PT7675 with larger turbine wheel so I should get better peak numbers and break past 700whp as long as boost doesn't taper.

You probably won't have any issues with a tc78 if that is the route you go. I'm not 100% sure if backpressure is my issue, but am trying a few things first. My tial 44mm wastegate had a pinched diaphragm so I replaced that. I'll be doing a couple pulls on the dyno Thursday to see if that addresses the issue. If not I can pressure check a few things an if push comes to shove will be ditching the tc78 for the precision turbo. It seems as though the 346ci guys that aren't Having much issues up to 15psi aren't running more than an ls6 cam.
Sure will. I think you are the only other ls1tech guy to have seen my car besides Jay.
you were only subjected to about 4psi. It's much different at 12psi
