Most I hit it was when I downshifted to 4th going about 70mph, and before I knew it I was bouncing the 159mph limiter that my car shouldnt have!

Hey Alberto, glad you are happy with your new ride! 
I've been catching up from Nopi, but hopefully one of us will get a chance to post pics.
In regards to our break in process...we've found this strategy works well for us. Other shops may have other opinions, and thats fine. 100-150miles of moderate driving (1-2psi boost max), and gradually higher shift points. Change out the dino oil for new dino oil, and then straight to the dyno. I told Alberto to switch to a high quality synthetic, like Motul, after 1500-2000 miles...give or take a few.

6700 ... nice.
I think Brent's (BamBam) rev limiter on his built is in the 8000 range. I'm curious to see where he peaks @?
one more ? @ what RPMs does your boost kick in?

Full boost comes on at 3650-3750rpm's-it sure builds very fast. I just took a few underhood pics, and Im currently uploading pics now, pics very soon.

Right. I guess they took the bumper down there, it just wasnt on the car?
