Default Back in the Saddle

Finally getting all settled down here in Pensacola. Took the car to have it re-tuned and it made 690/723 with 10lbs. Tomorrow its getting some race gas and the boost turned up a bit(15psi). I am hoping that it really starts to scream with the extra 5lbs of boost. I would like to turn the boost up even more to really see what it can do, but I am afraid the spec3+ won't like it too much. I will be sure to post the new numbers when its done.

It was tuned for 15lbs today and it put down 825/837. I can't wait to take it for a rip. For those who don't know, its a 390ci motor with twin 6665s.

Will do^^. I just picked up the car today, and the drive home was rather exciting. I nailed the gas to make sure everything was working properly and as I did it(just for a second), I looked in the rear view mirror and I noticed it laying down some serious rubber on the road(70mph). I wasn't expecting that.


Love the smell of race gas...
