    Of course! Been driving it since the day they detailed it. Took it to a local car hang out last weekend.

    Sounds good! :) How does the bigger turbo work on the street compared to the small one?

    On high gear it feels laggy if i step on it at a low rpm. No big deal since I just cruise it around.

    I have the ignition map very conservative again, we still have to work on the transition timing and total timing again.
    We did that with the smaller turbo and it lit off pretty quick. I sure once we do that with this one, it will help alot.

    Small update, pulled the trans/converter, shipped it to FTI so they can work the converter and just go thru the trans, nothing wrong with it. I figured its been on the car over 2 yrs, might as well have them check it out and freshen it.
    Should be testing on the 14th.

    Trans/converter on the way back, glad I sent it, they found a small issue with the front pump which could have been a big issue later on. Upgraded to FTI's 1800hp front pump with oversized gears.
    Converter got tightened, but he told me it will slip once I throw more boost at it.
    I'm going to run it for now see how it does but will be upgrading to one of their better units or possibly a 9.5 ptc.
    I may just stick with FTI, they have been very helpful with my trans/converter needs.

    Want to match race me in Bradenton? You can stage with the back tires and I will put ducatibrian in the trunk for a weight penalty!

    We can't let the fruity pink car get all the attention.

    We could have yellowpony be responsible for putting his own hood pins in but that isn't the kind of show we really want now is it?

    Well, my screen name doesn't even match what color my car is, I shouldn't be trusted to do anything.....with that being said, Baer should be proud, I'm the first drag racer to do an endo, shows how good those brakes are!

    I am down for some match racing, but my junk doesn't need to be any heavier!
