Okay, well as impressions of the car. All I can say is that it feels fast - a lot faster than my stock motor Turbonetics ST setup. You all saw the dyno sheet posted up earlier in the thread. Jeremy told me it made 595whp/630tq at 18psi or so on the last pull he did on the dyno but I dont have a graph of that one.
I picked up the car last friday and drove it around quite a bit during the weekend. It basically feels just like the Turbonetics ST kit but it pulls a lot harder. I'd say the lag is very slightly more but you can't even tell if you're hitting boost in the proper rpm range. It makes a full 18-20 lbs around 4700 rpms, but in all seriousness you couldn't even really tell because it kicks you back so fast.
I'd say the best way to describe how this car feels is a really hard pull as boost kicks in, then it smoothly accelerates all the way to redline. I'm already starting to get used to the power (yes AJ I hit full boost a lot lol), and it feels really nice. As far as running with the UTEC and the rough changover, I can't feel it most of the time. It's fairly smooth.
I'm also taking it to a local dyno day on saturday morning here in Riverview at a mustang shop. They're giving me a good deal on a few pulls and I just want to get a most up to date graph of what it's putting down.
The car is running great right now, but it's still not ready. I picked up the car without a full exhaust system. Right now it's just got a y-pipe with two resonators dumping right under the passenger area. I'm going to take it to a shop thats like 5 min down the street and get the exhaust finished off next week. They're going to relocate the resonators and do a full dual exit exhaust with Ti angle cut tips. I'm looking forward to having it done. Right now it's borderline livable but loud enough where I can't even tell when the WG dump opens.
For the rest of the week I'll be tightening things up and cleaning the car up a bit. I've always been very picky about my car being spotless and I need a little time to get it to where I'm happy showing it off. I'm planning on having it out at the Orlando meet this weekend. I'll get plenty of pics (and maybe a few vids) there.
I'll make a new thread once I get the pics and stuff this weekend.
Thanks once again to everyone that's worked hard and helped to get this car to where it is today. Jeremy, AJ, and Performance factory for putting their expertise, dedication, and heart into the project and getting the car performing at this level. Also Turbonetics and especially Reggie Wynn for bending over backwards to get us all the right parts for the project. This is in fact a collabrative effort that wouldnt have been possible without everything these guys have done to go above and beyond.

Thanks all, yep pics soon. Last night I worked on taking off my stock spoiler. I hate 3m tape... heh....
Basically the same location.
RC 750cc injectors. I haven't pulled out the calculator but I promise you they're nowhere near maxed.
Damn. I have a feeling you'll be coming with something big. Hopefully I can catch back up before zdayz. 
Hey thanks Ron. I didn't know you picked up a 911 turbo. Are you going to have her or the Z out at the meet. I love those cars!
Pretty soon I'm just going to start calling you "Magnum". Porsche is close enough.
