The car is looking good. Nice to see you got the camber taken care of.

I run -1 and -1.1 on rear and with 295/35 KDW's I hook in 2nd gear @ low boost. 580whp @ 13psi

I dont think its worth it having some of 1st hooking and paying more for tires that wont last as long but Im glad your happy.

well first isnt really hooking anymore, and im spinning second again now. i just turned it up to 16psi and did some street tuning. im not sure how much power its making. its not roasting 2nd gear to the point of making it useless, its actually perfect it just gets a tad sideways but still pulls hard.

i dont think the car would be exceeding 575rwhp at this point with the 3.3 gear... but i raced a WRX last night that everyone says is an 11 second car and i beat him by buslengths, at least a dozen cars... owner says he bets the car would go 10.5s if i could launch it... im not sure about that but sounds nice. my friends 720rwhp (on the dyno 2 weeks ago) viper put about 2.5 cars on me from 40-120 2 nights ago also (still havent figured this one out, could be related to my car being about 400# lighter)... so the car is performing well right now and running really good dispite all the oil burning thru my turbos under full throttle.

if i get time to take it to the track ill definatly post... but i am not very confident in getting good times from a dig since 1st gear is worthless and stock axles have 45K on them now.

i paid about 300 per tire.. im not sure what going rate is on them but if i have to change my rear tires every year for the sake of traction, thats fine by me!

actually i think the seals are toast. not this spring but LAST spring when i took the car out of storage i was neglectful and didnt consider my rear main seal drip or check the oil level in the car. i ran the car for over a week on 1 quart of oil (thats all that came out when i drained it to change the oil).. so that probably did them in. but then again, they were doing it before that but maybe not as bad. i have been meaning to upgrade my oil return lines since i use the greddy oil pan with those lame banjo bolts that are awfully restrictive. i plan to weld some -10 fittings on the pan and use mandral -10 hose fittings to make that 90 degree bend. we'll see. the engine seems fine, leaks down good. i still need to pull my valvecovers and make sure i dont have any excessive wear on the cams/lifters from that oil incident.

says a lot about the both of you. maybe we can get an update/pics of these after a few thousand miles to get an idea of wear and traction after wear?
