Figured I would post up what happened for me this past weekend. Ran my first 9 second pass using mediocre and non-high dollar parts. On to the goodies.

Mods list:
EBTEC 2.0L (Wiseco 9.0:1 pistons, Eagle H beam rods, .020 over bore)
GSC S3 cams
Supertech dual valve springs and retainers
Borg Warner S366
Tial 38mm external wastegate
Tial Q bov
FID 2000 injectors
Double pumper with twin 255's
Fuel lab mini pressure regulator
STM upper IC piping
Custom lower IC piping
Ebay universal 3x24x12 intercooler
XS Power T3 manifold
Custom downpipe and wastegate dump
EBTEC 5 speed trans (stock Evo 8 gear ratio) Quartermaster 8 leg clutch with HRB
Hoosier QTP's on rx7 wheels
Stock ECU with Tephra 7 and SD
Ebay mini radiator
Moderate weight reduction
Stock intake manifold
Stock throttle body
Stock head and valves
Stock fuel rail and lines
Stock coils with NGK BR8ES plugs gapped to .18
Hallman manual boost controller
E-85
29 psi

It made 662 hp 493 tq revving to 8k Here's a few pics
I backed up that pass with a 142 mph and 149 mph trap. Ran into crankcase pressure issues that will be taken care of this weekend. Also had the privilege of meeting R/TErnie at the track and got to see his companies beast of an Audi laying it down out there. Bottom line is, you don't need overpriced parts to make a fast car.

I don't think I'm quite fast enough for that list yet. But knowing what the car can do and what issues I still need to fix, she will be mid 9s easy here in a few months.

-10 lines on the valve cover and -6 on the bs inspection hole and dipstick tube. Nothing fancy just simple.

The list was intended for any and all 9.999 sec or quicker cars and cars that trap over 150mph as both of those are significant accomplishmnets in my mind and that's how the list was started so i kept the rules pretty much the same.

I saw you posted up your results and i will get you on the list asap

Congrats again!
