The car did excellent this weekend. I drove it down to Ohio, we made a bunch of hits and drove home without a single issue. 

We tuned it on WG pressure (26psi) the night before the Shootout. I ended up installing AEM V1 in the car the night before and had my friend Russ at Deadhooktuning tune it (same person who built the motor and also did the roll cage). We were having some issues with the boost control solenoid and could not up it. The car at 26 psi feels pretty good so we left it. 

The best from this weekend was a 10.1@139 with a 60' of 1.51. Best MPH of 142. I think the car is going to be able to 60' a low 1.4, high 1.3 based on how well it grips. I just have to better my driving with the QM and shift way faster. I watched videos and saw logs and there is huge area's I can improve on my driving. We plan to hit the local track soon with the power it sits at as I'd like to get it into the 9s before we go adding another 10psi!

I'll get more pictures and a video up this week. 

Big thanks to everyone involved including local friends, Russ @ Deadhooktuning/Moranmotorsports, Tom @ Tscomp, and Brian @ STM.

Since the Shootout I have not done much with the car except enjoy every minute of it! Local car meets etc... It is still on WG pressure at 26psi which is pretty fun no doubt (142mph traps). 

This week or next week we are going to be upping the boost another 15-20lbs for "kill mode" and visiting the track October 12th. I wonder what the 6266 record is? The goal for that track visit is for some mid 9s at 150+ mph. 

I've also planned for what I am going to do to the car over winter. The paint looks good in pictures, but I assure you its trashed. It's also a few different blacks from previous owner cheaping out on paint when it was wrecked.

I realized I never posted these on here. Here is the dyno graph and time slips from the car back in August. 

The difference from 139 to 141/142 mph is the turbo block-off plate being off. Notice how the 1/8th MPH stays pretty close. 

New time slips and comparison dyno graph with 15-20 more lbs of boost to come as well!

It's just an ABS plastic plate I made that attaches to the front bumper so small rocks and debris don't get sucked in/ruin the turbo. I always use it when I drive on the street. I've made a couple of them for local's who don't want to ruin their turbo. 

Plate installed here. I did back to back runs with it on/off for comparison to see what the real advantage is of having a forward facing setup.. Obviously the faster you go the more it will help.
