Took it out to the track this past weekend and the first pass off the trailer resulted in an 8.43 @ 176.53 with a terrible 1.61 60'. Being a whole new combo I really had no idea where to even start so I figured let's try 3000 rpms on the brake but I should have started way higher! After that I noticed an exhaust leak and decided to call it a night before I torched something but I will get that fixed up and get it back out there. The MPH is what I'm really happy with though even with the slow start, it's really showing the potential of what it's got in it and what is left with another 8-10 psi in it. I have video, just need to put something together when I get a chance.

Oh yeah and since everybody is looking at the 60-130 times now a days I logged a 2.76 on this pass.

It's working pretty well voltage stays up right in the mid 13 V range even with all of the fans running. It's a DC Power 180 amp unit.

I believe it's an NRG but can't remember the model number. It's relatively cheap and the build quality reflects the price but it was the easiest way to mount some buttons with a bracket and I could get it quickly.

It's running at 20 psi of boost right now, eventually will turn it up around 28 which should just about be the limit of these turbos.

Hey look what happened! It's been a while since I updated this thread just because I haven't had much time to do anything with it but we had another rental and it delivered! Still need to put together the video and once I do I'll be sure to post it up, it sounds pretty gnarly through full exhaust when the turbos light off.

Any boost left to go, or are you at max? Maybe a 7.50 pass?

Probably a couple psi left but not much. I would think it might get down around a 7.6x something just from another couple psi and not chopping the throttle on the launch. I swore I felt it start to spin so I got out of it and right back in it to settle it down so that has to account for something as well, how much I have no idea though. Once I post the video you will hear it and then I'm just yelling at myself in the car on the return road for letting out. LMAO

I will have to write something up on that in a bit.
