Well socal hope things are going good for all my friends left behind. Im back in MI for those that dont know,got out of the Marines and went back to my old job. got a house with a good size shop for my toys.
but for those that remember i had alot of issuse with my new engine. had to wait until i got back here to work on it. well got the engine back together and then the clutch and M6 started to be a pain in the *** so fend up doing a auto swap. trade my M6 for a rossler 4L80 set up which work out very nice indeed. the turbos loved me for it LOL. the car is way more of a handful, it hits the tires so HARD!!!!
so after tuning the car some for the auto he head for the track the 2 weeks after the auto was in. we did TNT that day

my first pass was on 11psi of boost the car pulled a lame 1.68 60 foot (footbrake to 2500rpm no boost). i was shocked when i got the timeslip. the car went 10.22@136 WOW. this pass was the boost controller off, just running WG. looked at the data logs everything looked good. so we turned on the the boost controller and set to around 13psi. i launched the car the same way just let it rip and GOT THIS.




not bad for a +3800lbs street car with A/C. my old PB with the M6 on 11psi was 11.23@129 so thats a hell of a jump LOL.
There is ALOT left on the table car was runinng 11.0AFR and i need to hold the gears longer. shifted to 2nd at 6100, went to 3rd at 6400 and went out the back of the track at 6500. should of held it too 6800 becuase it keeps pulling hard in the higher RPMs sorry the vids i have are not working right
BIG thanks to everyone that have help me in the past with the car.

The reluctor wheel was welded 90* out. The PCM didn't see the proper signal ever. Once he gets the 2 step fixed and leaves on boost he'll get those 60's down. More boost and this thing has low low 9's written all over it.
