The tranny has not had the pleasure of making a shift yet at these power levels... I have it locked in 3rd gear for dynoing.

Just hit 509 rwhp @ 21 psi.
This is w/ conservative tuning, through an automatic, with the stock exhaust.
It ran out of pump though, so Lar stopped there. In the interest of time we'll be wrapping it up...i'll be adding a second Walbro later and will Dyno again.
I cannot say enough about Sound Performance. Their skill and professionalism are top notch. I've built up alot of cars and dealt with alot of shops...SP did me right and met all my expectations.
Larry, Gary, Ivan, and Max....thanks a million.
Any questions about SP or this project in general...feel free to contact me.

This weekend just gone i had the water pump in my Soarer Twin Turbo replaced. When i went to get it there was some good new and some bad news. Good news... the water pump was fixed. Bad news.... the car wouldnt go over 30Mph and was as rough as ****** to run.
Instantly my heart was broken.. the mechanic couldnt fix it for another 3 days and i ouldnt go to sleep for 3 days knowing my baby might never run right again. Fortunatly though it just turned out to be that when he was putting it all back together again he did not realise that the timing was out, hence the cr going into "Limp Home" mode and not doing more than 30Mph. All was corrected and now she runs fine.
But my point is that for 3days i was at an all time ow coz my car wasnt doing more than 30Mph and i didnt know why. So my GREATEST admiration and respect goes out to "Lex Luthor" who put up with almost a year of this bull**** from people and his car (well not the car but you know what i mean).
Iv just spent about 2 hours reading this post from the start and its caused me more pain than the 3 days i had with my own car. You are THE MAN Lex... keep it up mate and hope it all goes well for you now.
I once had to do this with my Rover Turbo... after about 2 months of hassle and being pissed about by different machanics i just jacked it in. Glad to hear that you carried on.
