well erik my car is sitting in my driveway in this cold weather up north here and it sucks. I might take it for a drive in a few. last dyno I did 556whp 399wtq at 25psi and sunoco 112octane. it was 450 on pump and I believe 16-17psi. I really cant run race gas till I get a new clutch though cause it is slipping on the slicks

yea your cars a monster...you might have to put me on to how you launch it and how in the world you dont snap axles to get me ready for when i go back to the states...if i run your times id be happy!

Mine is sitting at my shop for the winter.

I've been driving it daily since April, roughly 80+ miles per day.

I've been meaning to tune it for higher boost, and you would think that having my own dyno it would be easy, but the shop has been incredibly busy..and customer's cars take precedence over my own.

Plans for the winter are a new downpipe...mine got crushed driving through road construction (MI roads suck..).

I just installed an AP rollbar and some Recaro Speed seats, other than that not much has changed.

I drove it today on the 235/60 BFG's on pump gas and it is official that it needs a clutch. lol

as for launching on slicks. rev the crap out of it to 8000 or so and side step it. the slicks help a lot with axle breakage. I never broke on on slicks. that sidewall sucks up a lot of the shock

side step it? What's that?

Yea Im tore up a few things! Everytime I broke something I upgraded it and the next weakest part would brake! Started with Axles...then I went out and found the badest bitches I could find, Gators. Then the clutch...I bought an Exedy Twin disc. Then it was the tranny...Im like FUCK. That tranny set me back pretty good. I didnt upgrade it at all I just had it rebuild...this was all on BFG's!

Some Im like how in the fuck are these people not braking shit on slicks! I cant wait to get back and let her rip tho!

bfg's or any radial is tough on the driveline because the sidewalls dont give enough to absorb the shock like slicks

Mines back in the garage for winter. made it through another year(year 4 boosted). ran the boost a little lower this year(15psi) and got some 11.67-11.69 passes at 128mph with drag radials and pump gas.

heres a couple runs from this year:
