I dont know about vipers! I'm sure they'll destroy me off the line. There was a 12 sec mustang that had such good traction he looked like he was through the eighth mile before I could hook up, even though I was trapping just a little under his.

Corvette is the first car on my hit list, followed by an M3 (cars I really like you know ) and then I'm after cars I don't like, like the smack talking wrx owners, RSX owners, etc. who talk big with a shelf bought car and a few bolt-ons.
I admire ANY car that someone puts work into and makes a dream car out of it like some of the supras with 500-700+ HP and the RX-7's, but I can't stand a trash talking Celica GTS owner (for example) with exhaust and unrealistic 1/4 mile claims.

Then I'm after the ZETEC owners like DDavis and...oops j/k

Demon, I am going to swap that throttlebody out as soon as I get back home, then get to work on a boost controller. After the controller is working I'll start increasing boost in 1-2psi increments. Every couple of days I'll continue to raise it until I get to 9psi or so where I'm pretty sure it'll be safe.
By the way, This turbo does seem to be sized quite well don't you think? Full boost around 4K so I have good normal driveability and fuel economy around town and highway cruise. I asked for a turbo that would be spooled by 3800 or so to take advantage of the IMRC opening point that way I'd always be in full boost for shifting purposes.
After I feel the boost is safely turned up, then I'll head to the dyno in Dallas to see what it does.

Tom-you are my hero. I need to come up and see your baby in action. . .

About the TB, will you have to recal the chip since airflow will be changed??

Hey, like I said earlier it just takes thorough attention to detail, some knowledge which you can find here, some dollars of course, and determination. Anyone can do a similar job to their car.

I would love to get together for a dyno/track day somwhere in texas. I can drive to Dallas, Houston, or as far south as San Antonio. Lets look at something in the next 30 days if possible.

As far as the throttlebody, it shouldn't matter as long as the MAF is calibrated correctly. The computer will add fuel as airflow increases.

Congrats on the 300+ hp As far as octane goes how about a couple runs using the Sunoco 100 unleaded race fuel, yeah 100 octane UNLEADED! You can order it by the 5 gallon pails, check Summit and other speedshop mailorders. I'd like to see what you could run with that

If you come to Dallas, I would love to see that beast on the dyno. I don't even know what it's like driving the ole tour any more. It's been more than two years since mine has been running . So just seeing one in action like yours would just get my blood going again!
