I am back to breaking it in again. When we ran in to the issue, I was just shy of 600 miles. Once we get to 1000, we are planning on doing the pull for the big number. We expect that to be a week or so away. In the mean time, here are a couple I took with my iPhone

Car is over 1,000 miles now. We are planning on a pump gas tune this week. We want to make sure everything is still good after beating on it a bit on pump gas because we tune for the big numbers.
By the way, right now it's only doing 7psi with a very temporary, rich tune and the car is crazy quick. With wastegates that have straight dumps, extremely load and mean..
I thought I would be purchasing another car by the time we did everything to this one but found out it's going to be the beginning of next year before I can so I have to drive this on the street for awhile
We will keep you posted!

Sure!
So, I was just over 1,000 miles Last Thursday and our game plan was to tune it this day. I packed up the SLR Camera and HD video camera and had to make a quick stop before heading to S&R. This turned out to be my last stop of the day.
I went to pull in to the office building in downtown and the clutch went to the floor. Blew the slave cylinder.
So, the tow truck came and towed the car to S&R and I picked it back up Monday.
Unfortunately the tuner is out of town till tomorrow or Friday (can't remember and waiting on Bobby to call me to confirm).
I would guess either Friday or beginning of next week we will have a pump gas number!

Here is the update!!!!!!
We ran in to some fuel pressure issues during tuning. Every time we got to about 6k RPM's, the fuel pressure would suddenly drop.
We tried a bunch of different things including putting in a new walboro 255 in the tank which fed the bosch 044. Everything we tried did not work so as of right now, we think the Bosch pump may be faulty.
On the bright side, let me tell you what we did get out of the car, on pump gas none the less.
With only the VE table tuned properly on the Haltech, not touching timing, cams, etc. and having to pull off the throttle at 6k RPM's, the car did 533RWHP @ just under 9lbs of boost!
Based on that information, I think it's safe to assume that this may be more of a monster than we originally thought!
I am heading back up there in a bit so we can try and figure this out and finish the pump gas tune and C16 fuel tune today!!!
Wish us luck!
