BTW the tune up on the car was EXACTLY how it was on that dyno pull. There may be a little more left in it

Chris,

What boost pressure did you use on that pass? Car is awesome!!

 

[turbobuick]

Thanks! I was running 34 psi with 118* inlet temps starting @ 97* on that pass. Tune up is good till 38psi. Have 2 go to 4 bar map sensor & redo VE table to go higher which the turbo will do! Car definitely has an 8.30 in it maybe better on a track like Cecil or Reynolds

 

[lazaris]

I believe it has a .30 in it for sure. Those are great inlet temps. This car is set up sweet. Should make someone real happy!!

Updates

Got the 4 bar MAP sensor on and working pretty good. Drove it around on the street a bunch tweaking the VE table to get driveability right. VE table wasn't to far off and the car is surprisingly well mannered for an 8 second car. No pops farts etc. Only real concern is the fuel pump and it never got hot driving for the 20-30 minutes we spent.

Car will be in Columbus and is still for sale. Probably taking it off the market after that and selling the motor to a friend of mine. Still would like to sell the whole car and start from scratch on the new one but with the economy what it is it isn't looking likely. Still hate to cut this car up like I am planning. I've had several low ball offers and as of now my absolute bottom dollar on the car is $35k I will not entertain $34,999.99 so don't bother asking. I truly believe this is a lot of value for the level performance and the type of car this is and there really is much you can compare it to.

Damn Chris, very nice bud, very nice. I'm getting jealous already, . These stage cars love boost, and as long a the tune is right, all is good.

Car is officially off the market. I have WAY to much time, effort, and oh yeah $$ in this car to give it away due to a bad economy. I don't need to sell it and only wanted to sell it to make room for a new build. We are starting to finally make the power we've known we had since 2007 and to be honest I'm having a blast with the car. Probably going to put the 25.5 outlaw DR car on hold and keep having fun with what I got. Thanks for all the offers, even the low ball ones. Look forward to seeing everyone at the races.

 

[Phoneguy]

I hope to see you at a track sometime soon. Awesome car!
Glad to see you are keeping it.
