    Im a bit surprised you only made 448 whp with 17.7 psi with a 6262. What was the timing. however, 11.07 is pretty conservative.

    You need to remember this is a 2.8 with m52 cams.

    I don't have a timing table but lower teens around peak torque.

    And yes keep in mind it is a 84mm bore 2.8, not a 3.2, and I'm running m52 cams.

    rich and retarted = safe and a long life span!

    Just got back from the track. Had a great time! Ran three times, had no issues, and made it back home safe and the car is in one piece! I knew dumping the clutch off the line wasn't going to work so I slipped it, but I'm still having traction issues in 1st and 2nd! Next time we will have some DR's on her! First two runs were against my Dad's Lightning with pully upgrades and the last run was against a badass Eagle Talon... I went on the first yellow since I knew he was going to get me anyway and I ended up spinning pretty bad....he pulled right away! Hard to beat an automatic awd out of the hole!

    I like this setup a lot. You did a real nice job, everything looks clean and well put together. I love the white charge pipes and valve cover too.

    Its also really cool to see TRM OBDII cars...

    OBDII TRM tuning! This is the first customer OBDII car tuned by TRM. I took the car to their shop and left it in their hands for a few weeks. Car runs great special thanks to Mike, Matt, and Rafa for getting her dialed in! Great group of guys who really go the extra mile to take care of their customers! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! At this time they have not fully released their OBDII tuning so give them a call with any questions.

    Pics/videos coming tomorrow.. 1/4 mile on Sunday!
    TRM OBDII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Finally got the car back today from the shop! The Driveshaft shop's balancing machine was down for awhile and it held things up.

    Here's a video my buddy took from his phone after we got it back together this afternoon!

    Congratulations! Now that is a great reason for the car to be down right there. Breaking things due to your car running so good is cool.
