I finally found time to go to the track with my new custom single turbo kit I built a few months back. It was a lot of work and installed a TH400 at the same time. Very pleased with how everything went 1st time out. 1st full pass ran 9.40@144 on 10-11psi, 2nd pass was 14psi ran 8.94@151 and 3rd pass I turned up the launch boost on the BC a little too much and the car wheelied pretty good and ran 9.20@150. I since then added a 10pt cage, chute, and some other safety equipment.

Yes, MT Pro 275, didn't try and max it out on power due to still having H beam rods but it made 1014hp and had lots left , I'm sure with I beams could have made 1200

That's awesome, especially building your own kit! I know your car used to be light with the nitrious, what's it weigh now with the turbo? Any truth to the TH400 being 100#'s lighter then a 6r80?

Bad Ass car!

Car was 4 pounds lighter with the turbo kit then it was before with nitrous. Adding a 5 inch air to air intercooler, turbo and all the piping sure is a lot of weight but the turbo 400 is lighter and the converter is as well, but I also don't have full exhaust anymore or mufflers so that put the car right at 3496 with driver. But then again I just added a 10-point chromoly cage and a parachute mount so I'm sure it's close the 3600
