The track run in the video was at 26psi, so there is plenty of room for improvement.
Nice runs Rob and sick car! I've got a similar setup, except I'm on a stock IX turbo and stock ECU. 
I'm curious as to how high you are spinning your AMS block? I know they recommended to me to stay around 7,500 RPM, but I know a few folks on evom haven't had any problems going up to 8k. I'd like to be able to take advantage of the RPM w/ a bigger turbo one day.

Nice, I have the 2.3 stroker as well. I haven't had it tuned yet that's why I wanted to ask what you were wrapping it up to. Are you running the stock head/valvetrain as well? Very very sick car!

Come on man. Fast is fast. The arguement of reliability goeas out the window at a certain power level. My car lives on ******* jack stands and I have WELL over what Rob has in his, in my setup. I am not a fan of rice my self. I wouldn't own anything from Japan. I like the fact some do though. Rob is being cool. No need to unload on a guy like him when there are plenty of other *** hats out there that we would gladly cheer your efforts on.

To answer your question around 5k, And that is on the high side. You cant tell me you can get a f-body to run like that with just 5k, No sir.
I got a friend now in school built a 480 hp civic out of some new and used parts and he drives the livin **** out of it Now you can spray a stock ls1 or ls2 but you cant do it big. Your lookin for a good no2 set up around 1,200, then clutch around 500-1000, Fuel system 600-800, headers,full exhaust 300-1,300 and a intake for ***** and giggles 200-900 dollars. Oh and tuning 400-800. This is just for a stock motor, add a cam, heads and a short block and u are up there!Im not trying to start ****, I use to say the same thing(You dump a *** load of money to run 13.00) But now imports around the v8 parts price range

I know you are serious but when he tells you much then you are going to roast him for spending all that money on an import thats not reliable, not consistant and looks like a economy car for a family. You do this all the time. Everyone know you hate imports, everyone knows you think its a waste of time and money making them fast. I'm not trying to start **** but for once could you just tell the guy nice runs and leave it at that? Just a simple question. The guy obviously likes cars and knows how to get them to scream. Even if you don't care for it, its still a pretty fast car and has had a lot of sweat put into it. Give him some credit and leave it lay. Like I said I'm not trying to start **** but damn.
I dont know about the rest of the forums but i like to listen to people who actually have built high hp setups instead of people who just think they know how.

Yeah I jumped out on him just a bit because of awd not spinning from brakeboosting. After that he caught up and got me at the end, that was a fun run for sure.
Thanks for the comments, I agree that the Camaro sounds the best. That thing is just nasty. When i get some new shoes for my car, I'll have to give him a run from a stop.
