Where's the numbers? Ernie is still talking garbage and teasing us with pictures while we all want to see the numbers it puts down and what kind of times you'll run. You're not going to turn around and sell this one right away are you? :P

LOL.....Easy on me! Trust me this one won't get sold......EVER......

If anything, I'll have Ray drop a 20B in it next year and use the same turbo. I pick the car up next Friday...Nov. 4th. And I'll post dyno sheets that night!
Timeslips shall be posted that Monday morning Nov. 7th.....

Dan they generally have test and tune on Sat or Sunday when there is no scheduled event. During the regular season. MIR is getting ready to close for the season soon after the Import Vs. Domestic. We are going to plan some days down there next spring so keep your car running so you can come down then.

We have had good luck with Exedy multi-plate clutches. They are a little pricey. Did the smaller A/r T6 turbine housing work out well for you? How do you like the response?

Congrats!!! Can't wait to see what kind of numbers you'll put down after getting a new clutch! BTW, what clutch are you currently using?

Not to get off topic here, but how are the Exedy twin plate clutches on the street?

ACT 6puck w/ the extreme pressure plate. It only has like 80 miles on it. Pratically brand new. The car hit 596rwhp at 29psi at 6000rpms, but at 6500 the clutch gave out big time...lol....So we let it cool, Ray adjusted the clutch under the steering wheel (apparantly I had adj. too far out) and we backed the boost to 25psi and it held fine so I kept it there. I didn't get out of there till midnight so I didn't grab any dyno sheets. I'll get Ray to email them to me on Monday.
