Alright Houston...when this weather clears, I need some cars to run against to see how it all performs. Anyone in this similar range, I can run motor or spray depending on the other cars level. I would just like to see how all my pieces translate against similar powered or performing cars. Vette's would be best since we are on a pretty level playing field for mph, weight, etc... but whatever.

You're more than welcome to join the party tomorrow. Weather is finally looking good for a change. May have to go out tonight and do some test hits just to make sure everything is working as it should. 
If not, just hit me up when you're free and we can figure it out. Not sure what the track is looking like next weekend for some test-n-tune hits, but I may need to head out to RPR and practice my 60's.

Good runs. Cars were very even. Me on 93 and meth @ ~19# and Lane Change on corn and spray. Basically whoever got the move won. I couldn't really hear the honks on the second pass so I stole the move hard.

Took the car to LMR today to verify the dyno numbers on their Dynojet and it read about the same. Using the same SAE smoothing corrections as the previous shop, the Dynojet read 612rwhp n/a and it was reading 814rwhp on the spray, but Stephen had to let out early since he felt the clutch was slipping. Not sure if the clutch was slipping or if the traction control from the ProEFI was kicking in since I did not have a TC Off setting on the iBoost to run spray w/o traction control and LMR was not doing any tuning or adjustment, just doing a confirmation pull to make sure that the dyno's are reading similar and everything seemed pretty straight forward.

Good numbers and consistent too...I'm sure you can tell if the clutch is slipping when out on the road...Once it starts slipping, it will get bad quick...you'll smell the metallic.
I'd put it on E85 and throw another 100hp worth of dope on it...

Yea, I was glad to see it make consistent power and to put the dyno games to rest between heartbreakers and happy dynos. Going to meet back up with D3 and fix some ongoing issues, and go from there. I have never felt the clutch slip myself, and since it's a carbon twin, will you still smell the clutch materials the same way? I've never smelled a slipping carbon clutch personally, but definitely know what a bad clutch smells like.
Once all the bugs are worked out, I am heavily debating going twin turbo soon....or I may just put in a more aggressive cam, optimize the intake manifold setup to work with the new cam and current MAST 305 heads, and then up the nitrous another 100 on a direct port instead of the plate.
