Boost by vss helps tremendously. It doesnt make 26psi until about 80-85ish. Also on drag radials and feathering the throttle in, if I brake boost or stab it, it still spins a little from a 60 roll. Also the longer gears of the E351 help a tad.

i need to do something like. as far as making the gears longer i was doing 8k rev limit but i am going to back it down some this time around. but with the 8k rev limit and 225/55/17 i would see 140+ in 4th which i loved. glad to see the car running man. can't wait to be out myself.

Thanks, Im glad its finally running without issues so far haha. Im running a 7500rpm limit and see about 145 in 4th on the E351. Once I get the M&H DOT's for my 15's I plan on turning it up farther. Thatll probably be this fall sometime.

Soooo.... The car is down again. This one is all on me unfortunately. I pushed it too far and ran out of injector, long story short the car made the power I wanted on the dyno but at 96% idc, I planned to just turn it down but had to get a couple highway pulls to see how it felt, well on the highway it made about 1-1.5psi more and ran out of fuel, and on the 2nd pull destroyed the number 2 piston in the process. Im definitely in this project for life lol. Already planning the rebuild to push it even farther.
FYI, it made 656whp/630wtq on an inground dynojet. Ambient temp was also pretty damn high, it was like 9am and it was already in the mid 90's. Printer doesnt work at the shop I had it dyno'd at, but hes emailing me the graph, made max power around 6800 even with revving the 7400 it started to fall off slightly. The car really needs cams and headwork, may be including that in the rebuild, we shall see.
Oh, and dont look for updates anytime soon, it may be close to the end of the year before things start coming together. Car is also getting AC put back in it ;) I felt like I didnt drive it much this summer because of the lack of AC. I really want to make this a true, fun to drive 600whp street car, if I can accomplish that, Ill finally be happy
