8 psi right now. I have no clue on the numbers. The clutch started slipping at 2800 rpms when the boost was turned up to 10 psi. Now, the new clutch is in, but I need to break it in before we can get good numbers. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

You should hit in the mid 600's at around 14PSI I would think. I could have went for it and came in around 627 at 15-16 or so but Mark knows that I beat the crap out of my car and suggested to keep it lower. I think he is right.

Did you upgrade the fuel delivery? That was the only thing Mark was concerned about with my car. It started to break up a little in the 600's. That's why I chose to keep it down. Anything over 550whp is a waste at the track anyway

Sweet! Did not try to steal the thread. Let's keep it going. I think Bear Creek Park is a great idea.

Looky at Mr. DecisionMaker! Now that the date is out of the way, the rest of the details should be easy to gather.

been out of town since last friday...had to host a bachelor party for my boy in Austin (road the gixxer up there...talk about a long ride), hit lake travis up, then the shoe show. Worked Sunday all hung over and then flew to Phoenix Monday....got back last night. Busy busy busy. 13th is good for me. Have a bday party to go to that day, but I think I can swing both. Hopefully I'll be breaking in my motor by the time the BBQ takes place. Maybe we can set a record for the meet with the most built and boost'd Zs. *cross fingers*

If I had to choose between you showing up in the daily or not showing up at all, I would say...Bring the Murano!!
