Update:

Used my Top Gear Detail skillz and polished up the turbo inlet pipe. 10000x better than before. Going to be doing the charge pipe for the manifold tomorrow. Kinda prepping for the NM Desert Fest.

Dunno, I am gonna do the pipe that goes over the engine into the intake manifold and see how hard it is. It takes soo much time to do this...

Do you know what mufflers you have? I love how quiet your car is, also how are you liking the new power?

I don't know what the exact part number is for the mufflers. They say Thermal Research and Development on them.

I don't really notice too much of a difference with the power. When the boost hits, its kinda hard to differentiate from the old setup and new. I sometimes wish the car was louder, but trust me the antilag is loud as hell. I will get a video up for that too, and show the engine bay.

12.4

First run at the track since the engine rebuild. Gears 1-3 used @ 20psi, let off after that. Lots of spinning even at that power. Track got rained out, couldn't run again. More to come...

Do you think you would get kicked out if you ran it at 800hp all the way through? Thats my biggest concern running too fast without a cage and getting kicked out. lol

I will get kicked out. That's my goal. I want to hit 11.3 on these tires. All they do is spin. I will do a bigger burnout next time. I will not put a roll bar in this car.

This is an awesome sounded car man. The exhaust in the video is just plain mellow with a slight rumble due to cams. I cant believe you redid the motor. I thought you had plenty of power before. Overall one of the nicest SC's on here, I might add.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for the kind words. I am very pleased with how the car came out. The reliability of the motor at the previous power without having internal upgrades was questionable. With it built now, I feel very confident it will last for a long time. Being clean and stock looking was always my intention. Sleeper.

Thanks for the info on the mufflers. I would have thought it would be noticeable difference is power, I think if you made it louder it would take away from it being such a sleeper,
