Insane! Congrats man, I can only imagine how you feel. Must be awesome!

Can I ask what you are using as far as the rear end goes (aside from the 4L80E)?

I'm running an RPM built rear , with a DTE brace and billet side cover .

Wow, thats haulin the mail. All I can remember is a few years ago when every one said a rear mount turbo was junk, LMAO....

Chris@East Coast Supercharging 11-19-2008 08:03 AM

Nice job Mike.. :thumbs::thumbs: Now I wish I had came down to personally congratulate you.. :cheers:

Smoove 11-19-2008 08:06 AM

Congratulations man,...thats badass. Takes a good bunch of people to come together and build something like this. Awesome man. Best wishes for the future goals.

AlwaysInBoost 11-19-2008 08:21 AM

Congrats Mike. Thats quite an accomplishment, especially for real street car such as yours.

DOUG @ ECS 11-19-2008 08:32 AM

CONGRATS MIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job man, gotta love reaching a goal. Thanks for getting us in on the rental too, I would have liked to stay and watch because I knew you had it, but it was too dam cold and I had to go.

I got the 9.1 video if you want it, but doesn't matter much now!

It's a shame Jay's car took the trans out first pass, I think we would have hooked at 100%, but that's the 4l60 blue's...

todd@rpmtransmissions 11-19-2008 08:42 AM

Congrats Mike!!!:cheers:

AC402Turbo 11-19-2008 08:47 AM

It must feel so good to end the season with a solid 8 second pass.

Thanks Doug , I can't wait to see what your car and Jay's car run with those powerglides and 15-inch wheel set ups .
