The color is growing on me and it is unique to say the least among fast DSM's.

UPDATE

The car is and has been running and is tuned. The problem my Synapse wastegates just aren't working for me. In my opinion they are very poorly designed and the quality control is less then I expect not to mention the many different story's I get when I talk to various employees from Synapse. I just forked out the money for 2 new Tial 44mm's and should have the boost cranked shortly. But I well say even at a very low 13 Psi the car is a beast I can't wait to see what 45psi is going to feel like. Ron

Here is a quick vid of me doing some tuning of the staged injectors. This pull was from 58Mph or 93 kph to around 96Mph or 154Kph in third on wastegate spring, and pump gas. I'm just rolling into the throttle at first trying to get the transition smoothed out a bit more.

If you are looking to be a 42R killer your vehicle will probably blow as an auto-x car. Not responsive enough, your lag is going to be what makes it longer an auto-x.

The car well be tracked but not auto x so far the lag is not that bad, that vid I was slowly rolling on the throttle to get past the staged injector transition I was only WOT at the very end of the pull. But I agree on a tight track it would be very limited.

So to make a long story short took the car to get dyno'd today, and had some technical difficulties. Only made 2 full pulls as the car was loosing either ground or power and resetting the AEM etc... Also never even had a chance to bring the boost up off wastegate spring. Here is a quick vid of the car and hopefully I well get this electrical problem sorted and get he car tuned. I can say the power and timing this E85 is making is crazy!

Right click and Enjoy

Well got a couple of passes on the car, only to find out that the clutch is slipping. Still put down a 141mph on 24 psi and 151mph on 28psi. the car only went 10.5@151mph but once the clutch is figured out and some more boost is dialed in should be a deadly combo.

Well went to the track today and besides being cold as hell, had a great time and got to talk to and meet alot of good people. Between the cold, rain cancellation and constant oil downs still managed to set a new PB just two weeks after my last PB. Even though I haven't' had much time to change the tune since I brought on my secondary set of injectors the car is running real rich which is at-least safe. Looks like I also got the clutch problem sorted out finally and something less then a 1.9 60ft. Well on to the run. Car went a 9.8@147Mph. This was the same boost setting as my other 150Mph passes but like I said the car is running pig rich and that probably accounted for that few lost Mph. I'm extremely happy with the car and finally getting that elusive 9 second pass. Can't wait for next year. Here is a in car vid of the run enjoy.

your project is very impressive! but to be very honest, the exterior does not do all the work you've invested any justice. IMO the exterior looks very ricey and the M3 mirrors are the worst. as long as you're happy thats all that matters i guess
