Finally got some numbers for you guys. I took it to the dyno last thursday and put down 511whp & 454wtq on 8psi. I want to run 20psi. I'm not able to go over 8 psi yet. I'm trying to figure that out currently. I hit the same boost with the ams-1000 set to add 7psi or 30psi to the spring pressure. I want to see if a small a/r exhaust housing is available.
I took it to the track friday night and got three passes in. All three were 11.1 @ 132~133mph. I haven't setup the 2 step yet but on the t-brake it would hit about 4 psi then ramp up to 8 at 6500 then hold 8 threw 2nd gear. Ams-1000 ebc is still set to add 20psi to the top port on the wastegate. I'm pretty happy overall with my first shake down passes. I drove it 45min's to the track, clicked off three passes and drove 45min's home. Nothing broke, the car went straight and mph is about what I expect. 2 tenths would have been nice though. lol.

Thanks bro!
An picture update:
In an attempt to meet all the nhra rules I was told I needed a firewall to separate the fuel cell from the driver. This is what I came up with. It is made of 20 gauge (min 24 is required). It is sealed with rtv in side too.
I installed a new tachometer that reads off a spark plug wire. The autometer would only go as low as 2 rev per cycle and I needed a 1 rev per cycle to get it to read. I went with the smaller tach to offset it. Now I can see it threw the steering wheel.
I finally installed the window net too. It came out nice if I do say so.
Here are some numbers finally. I was only able to get it up to 8 psi so far. It put down 511whp and 454wtq on the dyno so far. I want to try a smaller a/r exhaust housing and eventually a different torque converter.
I went out the the track and clicked of 3 pass at 11.1 and 133mph. The car did great and it's consistent. I still want to wire up some stuff to the aem for a 3 step. On the t-brake I'm launching on about 3psi but it takes a while to build boost.
Here is a shot on the way out to the track with Aj in his 10sec neon.
