Just got my car back...
Just got my car back from KD and I'm pretty happy. It didn't produce the numbers I would've wanted but it's more then enough for the time being. I got 312rwhp at 10 psi and 379rwhp at 14psi. Dave said I would've gotten more if it was alittle cooler out. I was also hoping to break the 400 mark but I guess this gives me a little time to get used to the power and tune it for more power later. This thing just screams now and to think that it isn't even in the sweet spot yet (20 and above) I wanna post the dyno printout but I don't have a scanner, I'll see if I can do it at work. Dave is the man and I don't think I will ever take my car to anyone else. I've always left his shop happy except for the time he told me my twins were shot

Saw alot of nice 7's there too. Gordon's car is just plain insane. I love the brake kit and Autometer dash. I saw Koch's car there. I think I saw a 7 with the Workmeister rims that someone mentioned (your motor is out and being worked on)

Thanks. I think you and I have the pretty much the same setup The car feels completely different with a single. I can't wait till get some race fuel and tune for higher boost levels. I'll just try to get used to 14psi right now before I kill myself

I guess you're right. I was hoping to break 400rwhp but I didn't take into account the ambient temps. I'm sure I would've gotten those numbers on a cooler day. Dave told me it was pretty hot in there and he had to shut down a couple of times cause of high intake temps. Dave is the f*ckin man. Email me your fax. AL900RR@aol.comThe low end is pretty much non-existent but when the rpms climb.... eek:

Thanks Reckless.
WorkS2R :I was gonna go T04R too but XS was in the process of moving then and didn't have any in stock so I went T78. I might consider picking one up cause the lag on the 78 is unbearable.

Luv94RX7: I'm going tomorrow, which car is it so I know what to look for?
Glassman: the T78 is really laggy compared to the stock twins which was what I had b4 but when the boost comes on, it comes on super strong. I'm also at relatively low boost too (14PSI)

WORKS2R: I only saw the motor out and that was it. VR with the Workmeister rims and I think Feed Strut bar. Nice car. I just got back from Dave today for my idle issue and he fixed it in 5 minutes. Idle is rock solid now.
Gmonsen: faxing first thing tomorrow morning when I get to work. Was that your car with the AP brakes?
