If he shifted like a mad man a 12.5 would be obtainable at the cost of testing the GEN 3 frame and axles. I think he wants to try and test that! lol.

Axles will definitely be the weak link. I snapped a few and it made me hesitant on my runs. The first was just running through first gear, the second was a 1-2 shift on track.

Fail.

Went to the track with a bottle that wasn't even half filled and had a CE light flashing. 13.8@101. I left after 2 runs, when my bottle wouldn't go past 500 PSI. (Should be at 950).

BTDT. Gotta pay to play! The Drive Shaft SHOp has a fix for this.

At this point, I like the axles being my first weak link vs the transmission. I'd like to run a 1/4 mile track, but it may have to wait until I move next year as we only have an 1/8. If I can get a smooth launch riding the clutch, I'm just going to try and use power to get me to the 12's vice being too rough on shifts.

I'm just glad to have the energy to put the car back together again. :) I missed that annoying whistle.

Yup. Snapped an input shaft clean in half a few months ago.

Around 14 psi. I have a 3 bar MAP to put on now that the meth inj is up and working

how much boost as you guys expecting to get out of the stock turbos before they take a crap on you? I know there has been talks about the "limits" of the stockers but has anyone actualy confirmed a number yet?

I'm guessing that map is counting atmospheric as 1 bar and he shooting for 28 PSI? SHOboom!

Or I'm reading MAP incorrectly as a sensor.
