Great runs and numbers! Makes me feel a bit better about saving for 16's for the time being and have them hold the power if possible until its time to step up to 15s. Car looks amazing!

Thanks man . Got the wheels and tires just waiting on the LG spindles . Then the car will go back on the dyno for moreboost as soon as Redline can squeeze me in , they are insanely busy over there now , the busiest Ive seen them since they set up shop in South Florida , there are some monster turbo and supercharged builds going on , more 4L80E conversions , new Z06's , a big HP party . I'm hoping to get back to the track asap . It doesn't help that Palm Beach raceway cancelled the Wednesday night sessions and theyre also cracking down on engine diaper/belly pan rules etc . I may have to wait for a rental .

I'm not worried about the diff , I'll probably leave on the same boost level and can ramp in more boost a few feet out , that's the advantage of the AMS-1000 boost controller I'm running now . Turbo cars are easier on the the diff than supercharged or nitrous .

Its a stock LS3 block . My set up will make 1000+rwhp but I'm not going to push it that hard . A few more pounds of boost and the 275 radial and I should set a new personal best . The car is a blast to drive on the street even on 5lbs of boost . My main goal was to put it back in the 8s driving to and from the track so I'm very happy to have achieved that .

Thanks my brother ! We were setting the bar 12 years ago , it's been fun . Things are different now , I miss those fall rental days at Atco with everybody running new bests , great times !! I should have some video next time out I hope if Redlines director of video production can make it . Its been raing and almost record heat here (87-degrees) but I'm going to the track asap as soon as the weather and my work schedule permits . The Lg spindles are on , control arms clearanced for the 15s , ignition issue solved amd now its time to go beat on this beast with more boost and harder launches
