700+ finally
So I put tires on the car to try and grip my old power of 686 and the cheap graphite HG gave up. I ordered some Texas speed heads ls6 ported with stock valves. I wanted the bigger valves but they said it was going to take a few weeks.
Well The boost is about 185kpa I am extremely happy with the final numbers. The car had a tad bit more in it but I did not want to chance the stock bottom end @120k
I backed it down a bit more on the street
The car grips dead on from a 2nd at any speed. It is amazing. I really think I should be able to run low 10s

More importantly, What ECS cam are you running?
Thanks,Matt

You could be in the high 9's if you get down the track on a good run. My first 9 sec run was with an S trim at 650rwhp.

Stopped at 740 but the car was still making more power. I think it should hit at least 750-760 but did not want to chance it

Thanks guys for all the support
*************Update***************
the car is still running strong I am thinking now about going either to a 3.2 pulley or going for a 50 shot on the car.
