Back in the saddle
After almost 10 months, I finally took delivery of the car again last night. Mike (PowerHouse)set the car up at about 14psi and it is making around 610-625rwhp right now on 93 pump gas with a very conservative tune.
I am excited to see the bump in power by adding ice in for runs as well, but one thing at a time for now.
Still have some issues to resolve and mods to do yet such as the roll cage and axle brace/girdle.
Probably another half a day of tuning to dial in the trans and shifting which will more than likely be done at the track.
I am pretty happy with the responsiveness of the 70mm turbo, spools up very fast and blows the tires off with ease.
Mike seems to think it has low 10's in it with ice, maybe tickle the9's withice and more aggressive tune,and low-mid 10's running the normal setup, so we shall see as the year goes on and I get some seat time. I would like to set it up to run mid 10's and next year start running the FFW Street Bandit 10.6 index class as well as True Street.
I tried taking a dyno vid last night of it, but with the garage doors shut, the sound bouncing around the shop overpowered the microphone on the camera and it came out sounding like a ufo on the top end.
I just took a quick startup/idle type vid this morning just to capture something tangible.
