sorry, i had a new baby boy about 4 weeks ago, so i've been a little tied up. The car runs and most everything is worked out. I have now found that I damaged the trans while adjusting the TV cable, so I went to a constant pressure VB which eliminates the sensitivity of the TV cable. The trans seems to shift real soft in 2nd and reverse doesn't engage unless I bring it off idle. I am going to pull it and have it freshened in july. I can still drive the car and for the most part do WOT runs but third goes into nuetrel at 5700rpm's....which makes me think third is toasted as well. On 20psi it is unreal. I raced a buddy's lightning which has a 383ci and a vortech X-trim and you could see the shear power the car makes. The wastegate won't open any less than 12psi and fully opens at 16psi so the boost control is useless which makes the useless anything under 60mph. I plan to have that sorted out in the next week and will be going to Milan for a track rental on Aug 14th. I expect it to run low 6's in the 1/8 at around 118-120mph. That should be good for 9.50's-9.70's on the 17" tire.
The idea that I decided not to run an intercooler seems to be the wrong idea. I have been logging inlet temps and they are exceeding 255 degrees so my plans for next winter are to put an A/A intercooler up front and switch the AOD for an AOD-e with a lock up converter.
I also built an aluminum muffler for the car which help quiet it down significantly.
Here are some recent pics.
