Well, I picked her up today and I can honestly say I really did miss her. Have to go easy on her for a little bit to break in the clutch, but I am extremely happy. Wanted to thank both Dwayne and Mike at Big Daddy Performance for putting up with me during the build. As well as all the vendors who provide the great parts for our now aging vehicles. Want to thank Stifflers, Lethal, True Forged and Full Tilt Boogie for their great products and support.

Great results! Very similiar to mine with a little less boost. I have virtually the same build but with 284ci. Congrats!!

Good looking ride and great numbers for such low boost. Do you plan to crank up the boost and take it back to the dyno?

No, I don't plan on upping the boost. I am happy with the power it's making and doing it without breaking a sweat. My plan from the beginning was to overbuild it and tune/set it up to be around 700rwhp being as conservative as possible for the sake of engine longevity.

You definitely did the build right. Those valve covers and your coolant tanks look great. Maybe you posted this and I missed it but where did you get those COP covers? Since you arent going to up the boost you have to get that thing out on the strip!!

You can get the COP covers here:

BPS Terminator Coil Covers SAT - Billet Pro Shop

As for taking the car to the track, I don't think it will pass tech inspection since I don't have a cage.
