It looks so plain without orange wheels, but having wider front tires will be a huge benefit on the track days.

Throw a wild color on the wheels or something!!

Yea it's deff way more aggressive looking. Eventually I want hr headlights n tails to complete the look for the most part. Then to work on some real aero for the track.

Seeing constant 21-23 psi pulls but I don't usually look at the boost gauge so if it slips ever so often it isn't nearly as bad as it was on that wet nasty day at the dyno.

So is it a fair assumption to say at 6800 your hitting 15'ish psi?

i'd say, no, not to fair......

I'd say, a better assumption would be 18-19'ish

why the question, anyway?

No idea don't look at it once that high I'm focused on shifting haha but I would guess where Tim is saying. It makes a big jump around 6k rpm from there it's a slower climb to the top. Car is revving to 7600rpm.

I was just asking because it looks like i will be getting my supercharger after the deployment then building the motor over the winter. So i was just trying to get a very rough estimate on how much boost i would be making with the 3.12 pulley and stock rev limiter.

another road course and a few autox's down along w some good street miles and she's still running strong. Had a serpentine belt snap on. Me during a race but replaced it with a green back belt and she's up to par once again strong as ever. Even in this South Georgia weather 👍👍👍

It's been great tim. She deff prefers winter time but even in the 100 degree summer she performs well at the track. Got around 4k on the motor now and I made the swap over to rotella T6. Still not a drop of oil losses inbetween oil changes. Motor seems to still be in top notch shape. Big thumbs up to IPP.
