Looks mean.
What does the car weigh?
What is the turbine trim and exhaust A/R?
Are you using 1 or two wastegates and what brand(s)?
I ask because I have a 3000# '88 coupe with a huge in-car air-to-water intercooler and a Precision PT-74 turbo with a .96 GTS-trim. It has made 970 RWHP using a 302 cubic inch motor and 28 psi of boost. I had boost creep problems until I added a Turbonetics Racegate from the ITS Progate.
I'll have to come look you up. I live in Waldorf, MD and that's about 30 minutes from MIR and maybe 45 to Capitol Raceway.

re
Alot, all I can say is that there 5 0's in just the car rolling, no motors or clutch/transmission. But alot of that was due to the car being a one off car. Had to spend alot on just making molds for all of the carbon parts. But I do have Carbon Fiber door molds now, Hood molds ( race skin, and complete bolt on with TTE grill molded in it), Trunk lid molds, Side skirt molds, Front and rear bumper molds, Front fenders, etc. We will be offering some of the parts soon. Extremely high quality carbon too. Will keep you all updated. Thanks

Keep us updated. We don't have enough funds to builb a drag car right now but looking forward to do it in the future. Probably GE motor though. If you have some more details in this set up email me jpimportz@yahoo.com , Did you have any problem mounting the motor? What fuel system are you running or going to run? Thank you.

The motor is bolted in using a motor plate, and 2 motor mounts. They all bolt to tubing. We will be running the car on Methanol, twin electric pumps, 12 fuel injectors, and startlite hoses with Aeroquip fittings. And a Motech M880 will be handling all of the management. Along with a RacePak V300 to handle more of the datalogging including 6 EGT's, Clutch sensors, driveshaft speed, etc...
