James says 107-109 trap, mid-high 12s... I say low 13s, 106-109 somewhere. There's probably 30+ whp left on the table to gain in tuning alone.

It's coming along though. Man I could smell the clutch by the end of our 'session' though Also probably brake pads...

Launching too aggressively and just spinning:


A would-be flyby where I lift too soon. You can hear me chirp the third gear shift though.


It's not all the way there, but now you all have a clue of where it stands.

Totally stock longblock, cams included

Nice car, looks pretty quick i'd say low 13's it seems to be running a little rich? i saw 10.0 - 10.4 with the in-car video

Man where to start... The car felt great, it was smooth, consistent, and just plain fast. It really feels like a 12's car now and there is still some tuning left to do. It's running pig rich and the timing is lacking but once dialed in this will be the car to watch.

ps. if anyone has any doubts as to get KW V2's I must say they are a must... I know what I'm saving up for now

I "rebuilt" and balanced the compressor wheel myself Polished the leading edges of the fins and such. It just wanted some attention that's all. Seems to be working just fine so far, we'll see if it lasts 1000 miles or 10,000.... If it lasts 100,000 I'm going to open a shadetree turbo shop

I saw 20psi... I think Eric said 21-22psi though, either way it was loads of fun and I was just watching lol

In second and third gear it's about 17-18, in fourth gear it gets up around 20.

I think I would lift if it went much higher

[JCviggen]

Always fun to watch

Is that WOT? It doesn't seem as "violent" as it should. I know it's hard to capture in a video.

[Mogatu'r]

ahem that's because of my awesome camera skillz...

its pretty violent in 1st and 2nd, wheel spin is all over the place. Remember though the AFR's are in the 9's and 10's so it's not going to go crazy till its dialed in.
