I think it will run a 10 this next time out. The turbine housing should be worth alot of power too, I hope to hit 130mph next time out. 130-131mph would be enought to go 10.9 even with a 1.70 short time.
The problem is going to be if I run a few 11.4-11.1 runs before getting the tune strait, Ill get kicked out for no safety equipment.

I got the FP turbine housing installed today, 02 housing fabricated, wastegate mount fabricated, and 50% installed. Waiting for a new AEM wideband sensor and a SS o2 bung(only had mild steel in shop) to come tommmorrow, then will finish it up.
Planning to go to Island Dragway to test on friday night, Im really hoping to bust into the 10s and see 130mph. Wishfull thinking.

Once the new o2 housing and wastegate setup are done, that custom fabrication page will be updated with the latest pictures.
I spike to 31 psi and drop to 29psi no problem with my stock ignition. I was having issues. I just gapped the plugs (8ES) to .24 and cranked them down tight (was having issues with them backing out from heat cycling which would also cause misfires). Car has an 11.1 in it as it sits with just a decent 1.70 or high 1.6 60'. 1.5 60' = 10.9 but I don't have the traction or the skillz. BTW my rev limiter is like 8600 rpm and I haven't had any problem.
