For some reason I haven't been around this site much, and when I do I always go right to street/strip.

Anyways, over this winter I decided to change a few things on the car. I figured out my "ported blower" wasn't ported, so I sent that out to get done. Along with that I'm also doing a 4lb lower setup and will be aiming for 16-17lbs. Last summer every time I went to the track I'd get clutch slip which hurt my times. So with my tax return I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought a Mcleod rxt, fidanza alum flywheel, and new throw out bearing. To make sure I dont cause any more strain on the clutch then necessary I also ordered the slp line loc kit.

I already have the blower swapped, still have yet to do the clutch tho, gonna do that once I get the car out in a week or two and I can take it to my work on a saturday to knock out.

Other little things I'm doing are swapping my wrinkle red valve covers which were starting to bubble for some wrinkle black. Late last year I picked up the new mgw shifter which is the cats meow. Also purchased sct prp software and am doing the tunes on my car myself. Luckily I have my boss to help me along and when I get fairly confident in the tunes I'll throw it on our dyno and see where it's at. I'm hoping for 500+ whp on boost only. I'm going to keep my current nitrous jets in to see where I get for power, if my pumps can handle it I'd like to get 600 with the shot depending if I get there on my current jetting or have to go next size up.

Sorry about all the rambling, for those that read all that here's a bunch of pics of parts/installed stuff and a few I took of the car last year in case anyone forgot what it looked like .

Damn greedy you're putting in some work! Think she'll be able to dip into the tens?

ideally I'll be aiming for 10's without nitrous. If this port work adds 40whp like the porter said, and if i can get my 60' to drop into the mid 1.5's I think I'll get that goal. A lot will also come down to if I can shift the thing fast enough. ideally I'll get some 10.9's/11.0's on boost only and 10.5's on nitrous.

Didn't you think at one point that the blower was overported? or am I thinking of something else?
When are you going to step up to the big boys and put a TVS on it? #youwont!

That was a year and a half ago when i went to race stone, and it made low low numbers. We were all just throwing out ideas and one was that it was over ported, but it turned out the inlet of the blower wasn't ported at all.

I'd love to do a tvs, but dont have that kind of money to throw at it right now.
