car is officially tuned and running. few more things going in and it will be good to go. it made about 380whp at 5psi on CIN motorsports's dyno earlier today. me and the tuner (Ben) took it for a test drive earlier and it felt quite strong. it has an osiris tune with the new GT MAF sensor and pulled smoothly to redline with no hiccups at all. not even when transitioning in and out of boost.

did get some really strange looks though doing 100+ on the highway with no front bumper or hood.

I will try and get some videos when I go to the dyno day/chili cook off at CIN this weekend. won't dyno the car because there's no point seeing as how it was just dyno tuned but maybe some cruising videos and such.

speaking of cris you should come up this weekend if your around. should be a good turn out and I haven't seen your car since it got it's huge engine makeover.

I need to upgrade some drive train components before I could even put down most of the power it makes now so I'll probably leave the boost at spring pressure for the a while. besides I'm pretty happy with the power level for now so I figure I'll wait till I get a little further along in school and I'm in a better position to build the motor.

Would like to make it but I'm in Atlanta for work. I should be driving home Saturday evening. Going to try and make a local meet Sunday.

We need to do a victory lanes meet
