Alrighty CL!
The test drive was GREAT! She is a BEAST. The boost works out to be 7.8 psi. The redline is 7k but the last 500 rpm has some (alot, lol) of timimg being pulled out to smooth the gear change. Shifts like stock.
My AFR is 11.0 under boost steady until that last 500rpm then it goes to 10.0 a/f. This is natural when you pull alot of timimg.
By the seat of my pants I'd say it runs @ 12.3 - 12.6 in the 1/4 mile. My Droid phone app was giving me 12.37 (low) - 12.45(high) in the 1/4. But I don't trust it honestly. So it feels just as fast as my nitrous 12.5 1/4 runs. Actully the 3rd gear pull is something everyone sould experience. The car breaks traction in 3rd @ 60 mph and just jumps up to 80 mph. You can not have the traction control on and expect to floor the throttle at anything below 70mph. You'll just break traction most of the time.
I'll make some video in the next few weeks and try to make it to the dyno when the weather gets into the 60's outside. That way it will be fair to compare with my 280whp dyno a few years ago.

Great update! Nice to hear that the SC is working to spec.
I'd expect for you to lose traction with FK452, they're not notorious for grip. Some Michelin PS-2, Hankook Evo 12, or Toyo T1-R would suffice for your new power band.
