I went to Dynotech Tuning yesterday/last night. Jamie (jack_of_trades) worked his magic and extracted 450 WHP + out of it. He said it has more in it once he uses the det cans and I switch 3-port boost controller. Next time I go back along with a re-tune on pump, we are going to do an E85 tune. I couldn't be happier, the car RIPS!
Another shout out to English Racing, especially to Aaron and Myles for answering all my questions and building me a rock solid motor
I have the dyno sheets, I just need to scan them in. For now, here's a video of Jamie driving on the dyno doing the 1/4 mile:

The other thing I noticed is and I'm sure this has more to do with the cams, but, the car just keeps pulling and pulling up top. I'm interested to see if the turbo will keep pulling above 8500 RPM's, but I won't be able to tell until I have it tuned on e85.
My 4th gear is nuts, the horsepower just holds and the car keeps pulling.

Here are my first impressions.
The car as I previously said, is ridiculously fast. I have to be in the correct mindset to take it out, things happens so quickly now with the added power.
I launched the car last night and couldn't believe how much of a difference there was. I've always been reading how people have traction issues upon launching the car, but I never did. I launched the car as per Jamie's suggestions, and it was insane, it lit up all 4 wheels, and started to go sideways, I was BLOWN away by the awesome launch.
The car, just wants to go. It's very hard to go the speed limit. You barely touch the gas and it just wants to rev to the moon.
One thing I noticed, is while cruising at the highway at 65/70 MPH, you can always hear the turbo now. With the journal bearing version, I could hear the turbo, but it's much more pronounced now. What's nice now is if I need to pass someone, instead of having to downshift, like I had to do with the journal bearing version, I just leave it in 5th and press the gas, and off I go. The BB Black makes a big difference in little instances like that.
The car needs a bit more attention at cold start, but other than that, I've been rendered speechless. I don't even know what to expect from an E85 tune. This car is personally the fastest car I've driven, and I can't imagine having more power.

The thing is a beast mike! I can't wait to see what she does on a well prepped track A few small tweaks and we can resolve any cold start issues it may have.
Have you tried the NLTS feature yet?

I was going to go to the track today, but it looks like it's going to start raining around 3 PM
No big deal, gives me more seat time before I go up.I haven't played with the NLTS yet, that's what this coming weekend is for

Ahh gottcha
The car has to go in for emissions this weekend anyway, I wouldn't be able to make it. Thanks for the offer
I didn't know there was another drap strip out that way. New England Dragway is actually much closer for me. I can't go today because of rain, hopefully next Wednesday night it will be nicer outside.

Car passed emissions in Connecticut this weekend
Looks like rain for tomorrow....again...awesome.
I will be heading up to the drag strip on Friday night instead. Never been on a Friday, we'll see how it goes.
I practiced a few NLTS's this weekend, its like your cheating, a perfect shift every time.
Just need to wash the car, my rims are soo dirty. Keep saying I'm going to clean them and never do, need to get on that.
