Just an update I had the car on the track Sunday with some kind of clutch release issue causing the clutch to slip all the way through first resulting in a 2.7 60Ft When it did grab it did manage to pull itself to 158Mph :thumbsup: So I think I'm right around the 1000Whp mark and have lots of boost and nitrous yet to come. In its current state I'm gaining roughly 30 hp per lb of boost and I figure I have another 10 plus psi left on the table.

Thanks the scary part is I believe it has alot more in it. My goal was to go 9's @150Mph and still have a car that can corner and drive on the street. Well now I might have to set my goals a little higher, this pass was only on 34Psi and no nitrous so there is lots left in her.
