That thing must be tuned pretty well. XES's dyno as on 13lbs of boost so if that can withstand 25lbs is would be somewhere up around 500. He said his upping the boost to 30lbs soon. I didn't think a h22/h23 could handle anything that high.
Just hold your horses until some dyno plots are shown. As for my build up, it was completed a few weeks ago. Break in was finished last weekend. The cage goes in next week. After that, it will be tuned, then head to the track & the dyno.
So far it is tuned @ 8psi (wastegate spring pressure only) & i've only taken her up to ~6500 rpm. The beast turbo won't even spool in higher gears @ low rpm (ie. floor it @ 3000rpm in 4th & lag is huge). I will shortly be tuning it @ 10psi, 12psi, 15psi, 18psi on pump gas (ie. next few days). Then after the cage is in, the 20 & 22psi tuning will occur. Then after that the track & dyno will be seeing her in action. I'll keep you posted (or someone else on the board will)
Like I said in the past, the goal is 10's at 3700 feet. It sure sounds like a 10 sec car, whether it'll perform, I can't say. Only time will tell.
If I don't hit 11's i'll be pissed. Way to much money was invested over the winter for it not to be faster than last year (the turbo alone flows nearly twice as much air as last year).

AWESOME. Good luck XES. Hopefully no one will photochop your timeslips again.
