Figured I'd put this up here since a lot of my fellow techies don't check the project cars section. With many thanks to 1320video.com's Kyle Loftis, we have a really nice video of MOnday's tuning session (and some cool aerials from Bonneville 2006)

We've run it to 18psi before, but on this trip we detuned it and made a series of long WOT pulls to make sure we had other mechanical issues sorted out. The car ran great!!
Also, Keith Turk once told us we needed about 650hp to make our target speed in this car. His accuracy ended up being uncanny... almost scary. We hit target speed easily last year on 10psi, so we set it to 12psi of boost and tuned it carefully to live there... thanks Keith!!
