so are you planning on taking it easy this year or are you going to hit up some events?I don't want to confuse anyone the main reason for taking it was to 1. Make sure the rings are seated nice and good and 2. Make sure it has a nice conservative tune so I can enjoy the car. I didn't get a picture of dyno graph. Thanks for all the support guys very much appreciated. Now it's onto tackling this wiring ratnest.

At first yes it will be turned down to wastegate pressure. I still haven't hooked up the nitrous to the series 2 to even get my launch tune. That is first on the checklist. My main focus will be dialing in the 60ft to at least consistent 1.4s then I will start turning it up. My best 60ft was on my 10.1 run with a lousy 1.63 I mean that's garbage. This was 2 years ago on the open t3 housing. IFO will be local to me next Sunday but the Military has some crazy hours and I don't think I'll try and push hard to make that one. I will definitely be doing some test and tunes in the future though.
I'm confused. I got a thread update by email but there's nothing here (X-file music****)
WOWI made a little progress on the car. Mechanically it's buttoned up and ready to go. New air intake setup went together nicely figured I would give the Whalen speed air filter a try. I really like the foam element and it's a UNI filter which is all I used on my dirt bikes when I used to race many many years ago. I got a chance to install the new kirkey seat, g force 5 point harness and almost have the new carpet trimmed to install the panels. The last thing will be cleaning up the wiring. I may have a chance to run in June but most likely you won't see any updates until mid August at the earliest due to my profession. I'm hoping my patience and attention to detail this go around allows me to run the times the car is 100% capable of.
