ya, the motor has to come out again. 
One of my rotor has 30psi all across all three faces. The other two is around 65psi so I have to put factory seals in to avoid that problem. I didn't think that at 8psi would warp the seals since the car was tuned to 11:1 a/f at 8psi (which is way too rich for the boost level). If I had to guess the hp rating, I would have to say around 450-475rwhp since I have a healthy street port with the T88 (thumper) turbo.
I'll be calling RA for some replacement. (probably not gonna use it).
Full boost is around 4300rpm and slowly creeps to around 10psi at 7rkpm.

Sorry to hear that Steve. I remember just touching that beast in Knoxville! I still look at the pictures every once and a while just to think maybe one day I'll give one.

someday, once my own software works takes off I hope to join you guys.

The early runs had a know warping issue. Exact same results you have.
It was how they ground the seals.
It's since been taken care of.
I've ran a few sets myself with out any problems.
They survived one guy's car with audible pings. I'm personally sold on them. Especially after hearing pinging that loud.

Maybe he should put one of those 199.7 liter new Z06 motors in it, hell it would have a lot of torque and sound like a real muscle car and if it doesn't fit he could always spend $20 grand on it and 5 years building it for nothing at all.
On the other hand I am sure this many people wouldn't pay to ride in it.............
