I am not keeping it at this level of course, this is just to see what it can do.
Keep in mind this dyno chart uses icriments of 200 rpms so on a different dyno chart, the torque band would smooth out quite a bit. 440wtq and above from 2850rpms to redline!!!!

. That's more than JGTC cars, more than Porsche Cup, more than DP/LMP!

Congrats on the great numbers!!! Michael and VRT are trying to get mine done before the Performance meet.
What are you going to run normally? You said not that much boost, so what are you going to set it regularly?

Your choice. On the track I would run 10 PSI. I think we ran around 470 WHP and Torque at that level (10 PSI) yesterday. Would be fun to handle regardless.
What Up RS!
Hold on to your *** MB, and better tune that JIC suspension so you can keep her on the ground.

Chapter 5: The First Impression
Wow! That’s all I can say. This car is amazing. Scott from VRT left late at night on Friday January 27th and arrived at my house around 3:30am on Saturday. The car, although very uncomfortable, drove really well according to Scott. No issues at all during the drive from San Diego to Las Vegas. As soon as he got here we took the car out for the first test drive. This is the first time I have driven it since I had even taken the interior out so it was a completely different car.
The car is loud in every way. There is no interior or sound deadener so you hear EVERYTHING. The rocks on the road, the limited slip differential, the tires, the turbos, everything. The JWT clutch feels a lot nicer than what I was expecting it to. Although different from stock, it is very smooth and the pedal feel is good. The Momo steering wheel also feels awesome. The JIC coilovers are very stiff in the rear since most of the weight was taken out of the back. The struts are set to full soft, and still the rear end bounces all over the place. I am hoping that re-locating the battery to the back and getting the car corner balanced will tame that a little bit, otherwise I am going to get some custom springs made. Now onto the good stuff…
The car right now is tuned at the 8.5 lbs. of boost on 91 octane pump gas. This configuration puts out 443.6 whp and 431 wtq and man is it awesome. It will take some getting used to, but its fun. First gear is pretty much useless, second is fun, but easy to break those 315s loose, and third gear is really fun. I can’t believe the pull this thing has and how fast those RPMs climb. This is a good tune for right now, but I think I will get used to it rather quickly. I am going to keep it at 8.5 lbs. right now and probably try a track day at that level. After that I will probably be ready to up it to 10 lbs. of boost. I drove the car for about 20 minutes and then headed back home.
I also noticed some other things on my quick drive around Las Vegas in the wee hours of the morning. Rev matching on the downshifts with the JWT flywheel is awesome. I have never driven a car with a lightweight flywheel before so I was unaware that it would make that much of a difference. Also with those 285/30/18 tires on the front, turn in at slow speeds is noticeably slower, but that was expected. Another thing is the AP Racing brakes are the best feeling brakes I have ever driven on. The initial bite on these things is second to none. I fee like I am being lifted out of the seat under hard braking lol.
Now it is almost 6:00am here in Vegas and I can’t sleep I am so excited. Scott and this poor girl he drug along for the grueling ride from San Diego to Vegas are asleep upstairs and all I want to do is listen to those JWT Twin Turbos spool up! Tomorrow I am going to start working on the other things I have sitting in my garage for this thing so check back for more updates.

Go to sleep you tweeker.
Call me later man. When you get so you can take a corner and stand on the gas at an early apex and still stay in control, TURN UP the boost to 10 PSI.

I did shoot some pics of the 315s from the rear but they didn't come out. I am going to do some more work on it, detail her and take some real photos soon.
