Thanks guys

I hope to bump the boost up this year to see if I can make 700s like smg944 did. I love your car though smg944

I'm planning on swapping to a 1.28 turbine housing and balancing, clearancing and studding/doweling the spare motor for more boost. Not sure if I want to go semi pport or not yet; budget will probably dictate no semi yet though.

Thanks for the props guys, it's been a long build. Still periodically fighting ignition issues but I'm getting closer to figuring it out; everything else was relatively straight forward.

I run Hankook V12 285/30/18's front and rear on the street. They're ok but I bought them for a 380rwhp setup initially.

I have a drag tire setup but I haven't been to the track yet on this setup. I'm guessing it should trap around 135mph based on the cars that I have ran. If it's not quite that fast, I can turn the boost up further as I've tuned it to 32psi so far.

Same here. Traction in 3rd is an issue on high dollar normal radials. BFG 295/35 Drag Radials have been working out very well for me. To bad they are now discontinued. I am going to have to go to a wider wheel and change my offset to fit a 315 Micky Drag Radial once these are worn. I can hold decent power in 1st and 2nd. So far it will hold a hair over 600WHP in 3rd without issue. Having traction is addicting. Switching to the BFG 295/35 Drag Radials was like buying a new car. The power was completely usable in pretty much all situations. There is no way I can ever go back to a normal tire or even a R compound autocross tire. Absolutely worthless on the street.

I typically run into traction issues in 3rd but only when it's cooler outside. Anytime its 80F and above (like in the video), 3rd gear will hook up pretty good. Unfortunately, 2nd gear will forever be useless, even at 60mph.

I guess my traction problem will only get worse. I've already pulled the motor to aim for 700s!
