Ok. Here is part of the story.

I heard a rumor that 5.0 magazine wanted a story on an upgrade. I connected some dots made some calls and it came together. I paid but got a helluva deal.

The car put down numbers similar to what you have seen here for P51's....some were higher, some were lower. The car was run numerous times to get a feel for overall performance expectations. As you can imagine, people don't want to "over promise and under perform" when offering a product or service. I don't want somebody throwing a lot of money at this upgrade based on me spouting the highest numbers produced.

Bottom line.

If you stand on it in first you are at the limiter in a blink, second is the old first on the BFG's, feather and it will hook. I have had wheel spin well into third. Then it's hook, boom, gone.

Passing cars has never been this much fun.

It seems the sound has gotten deeper and it's louder at WOT. I think some of the drone is gone. My boost gauge is reading in the 12-14 PSI range at WOT.

Here is a better pic of the under hood.

My lovely (and very patient) bride snapped the moving shot.
