    Well it's no Bullitt, but I like it! lol It should be tuned this morning. I'm going out of town, this afternoon, but hopefully she'll be done before I go. I'll try to update#'s before I go. I'm thinking of swapping to some Black DD bullit wheels, Nobody has those... Maybe I'll start a trend... j/k Graves!

    I'm still waiting on the numbers myself. We ran into a slight issue with my timing, so I had to order a new balancer. I was told that the 12 rib set-up is a mofo on balancers, so it got a little messed up, but it should be done early this week! I'm just ready to get this thing back, I'll more than likely be at the meets this weekend in it!

    finally!

    Just got the coupe back after a week at the tuners, a little "tune" ended up whooping my wallet's ass!! Oh well I'm just glad I took it in so that I now can do what I do and be confident I'm not gonna tear my shit up! To make a long story short She threw down

    MAX POWER 484.23@5,700rpm.
    MAX TORQUE 458.99@5,100rpm.

    WooT I sho do feel like a winner! I was told that I can expect over 500 with new injectors and a MAFia, but I'll probably hold off on that because this thing is just the way it is! I'll hold out until I can do a 331 Stroker and up the boost!!! but for now I LOVE this car!

    Thanks Again E you are the best!

    And also A special thanks to the guys at PSI.

    The whole way back to my shop I was Asking for a little boy in a bowtie to act cool, but they're never around when you need 'em. Maybe this weekend!

    Did Dean tune it? Also was it running out of injector? Post up the dyno sheet if you got it.

    yeah Dean tuned it. He said that it was maxing out the Mass Air, but it might have been a combination of the mass air and injectors that caused it. I have the sheet, but no way to post it.

    Well, Yes and no. I am still running the stock bottom end(just freshened up) crappy ole F cam. Smaller valve heads,less boost with an S trim. You have different blower,intake,heads,headers,cam etc.

    I'd love to see your car in person.It sure looks good in pics.

    I'm running 42's also, but Dean had to shut it down at about 5,600 RPM because of my meter and injectors. What RPM does yours limit at?

    Dunno. It was still pulling. My rev limiter is set at 6,200. I think I would have seen 500 if we would have made a pull to 6k

    WOOT! I ran a best time of 12.11 against a Z06 tonight! Trapped at 114.24! I know I should get more out of the car, but I'm just getting the hang of it. It's so easy to roast the tires through the first two gears, but I'm getting the hang of it! The hardest part of the run was trying to turn off of the track without breaking my boner in the steering wheel! I had a blast and I'll try to post some timeslips soon. I had some crappy 60 ft times, but R code caught that magic Ass-whoopin on vid so hopefully he'll post it soon!
