Default new build requires new guesses on numbers/times

As a couple of you may know, I recently got my hands on a kenne bell and am in the process of swapping it. It's a 2.8 mammoth and I'm kind of guessing on my pullies but am hoping to be in the 18-19 psi area. If I hit that number I'm going to guess I'll be in the ~620whp area. So with that said, and knowing I went 11.2x's with 501 whp what are you guys thinking I'll be able to get down to now? I'm hoping for a solid 10, preferably mid 10's. I'd be ecstatic with a 10.6x and anything lower would be even better. But it always seems to take a couple visits to the track to get the times where I want them. So what are you guys thinking??

As for my swap, the blowers on, however I have to take it back off to plug in injectors as I cant get to anything with the blower on and didn't think about it lol. But I'm hoping to get it running by next weekend and then tuned within a week if my boost isn't 20+. Then end of september is the big local race that all my friends and enemies go to so that'll be the first test for mr snuffeleupagus.

Little picture of it sitting on it's new home

Sweet! Are you making any new mods to put the extra power down? If not I'm going to guess around high 10.0s with a spectacular trap speed. Should be able to beat everything but a 6 cylinder in ROTM. LOL.

I'm not sure if I'll be spraying it or not. For the remainder of te summer it'll be just pump gas and boost. Over winter I'll have to decide if I want to throw the solenoids back on and put a small shot thru it or make the switch to e85 and up the boost.

Blue I'm not changing anything suspension wise, but it should be pretty decent already. The car should still cut atleast 1.6 60's. I think a lot of my problem last time out was too much rpm for dumping the clutch. I think with only revving it to like 3500(compared to 5500) and launching will get me better 60's. Hopefully low 1.5's.

Sounds exciting! How much more weight can you drop? And how would you do against TC?
