    Thanks!
    Here is the vid! Enjoy!
    All races are to 125 except for the blown 5.0, we went till 150ish XD
    (Zo6 not on vid cause he lined up on wrong side but I put several cars on him by 120)
    Nice! Hard work, time, and money paid off well!

    Gotta guy that works with me that drives one of those 2015ish 5.0 mustangs, is always bragging about how fast it is and talking about. Wonder if my 2.8 around 15 psi could keep up with it

    They look good and they move. I was shocked , I was brake boosting hard and only pulled 1ish cars on him.

    If the 5.0 is stock your 2.8 at 15psi should pull on him.

    That's why I like to hear. Guys at work have high hopes for the 328.

    But this thread is inspiration to go ahead and start building my motor on the side.

    Good news and bad news.
    Good news is I got to go race two of the faster locals here.
    720whp automatic ctsv
    750whp Whipple SCed 5th gen camaro w/ nitrous (two passengers)

    Bad news is no vids, I accidentally killed the gopro battery on the way to the meet

    But my car outdid itself again!
    I pulled about 1 car on the camaro by 150 and me and the cts v were dead even at 150. I couldn't be happier with my car considering its still not even running 20psi!

    Thats pretty impressive. What do you think your putting to the ground? Do you plan on turning it up at all?

    I don't know honestly, I'd like to think I'm close to 600?
    I do plan on turning it up, should have a lot left in it. I'm out of fuel at 20psi though; my AFRs go from 12.5ish in boost(18-19psi) up to 13.1-13.3 in boost at 20psi so I'm stuck for right now. Once I get more fuel I'll be turning it up!

    If you could set up a tuning pkg with id1300s for the stock ecu you'd be the plug

    I think WE'RE probably more happy than he is.
    He would have come back like a SupieCharj gent wondering, "Hey guys, I really like my set up, but..."

    We would

    Someguy; yes this turbo is a beast. I would have been so salty if I had gone with the 362 which I was strongly considering.

    I'm running 22rpds tune and 80# injectors. I just need bigger injectors, I've probably already pushed them past what I should be doing with them. I don't know how much power I'm making , but based on the 720whp ctsv that I was dead even with I'm probably near 600.

    Stock line from tank to filter, you may want to change that.

    Do you have a way to log your fuel pressure to see if it is dropping off at the top end? Usually with more data more 'problems' arise.
