We have a dyno scheduled for Monday morning. We will see what ours puts down:

mods:
JLT performance intake
Vortech V3 3.60 pulley
Maxflow BAP
ID 1000 injectors
Brisk Plugs (1 step cooler)
50mm Tial BOV
BOSS IM
Lethal Off Road X pipe
3" over axle pipes
GT500 quads
Lund Tuned

Our data logs look really good on WOT pulls. The car drives like a dream

I'm getting a little knock down low lund is telling me. I am going to beef up the octane to see if it responds. I have the 3.8 drive. I'm hoping I can put down at least 600. Good Luck!

Jon will get it exactly right. He did 5 revisions on ours in two days to get it just how he wanted and I will say, it runs perfect. There was a thread that scared the hell out of me on "drivibility" with a Paxton or Vortech before we bought ours. I dont know what kind of smear that thread was, because our car runs perfect and acts like a stock car until you are between 3500/4000 rpms where it takes your breath away. We couldnt be happier with our decision now. I know they tune for 91 octane, but we have always run 93. Good choice on the polished. That looks awesome on your car.

Thanks for the compliment! Yea the driveability is pretty good. You are right about the RPM's. I like how it eases into boost and doesn't just kill the tires as soon as you hit it. That is unless you are in 1st or 2nd which are pretty much useless haha

No kidding, makes me wonder if 3:55 would be better? 1st & 2nd in boost is spin-fest. The feel though when you are pulling in 3rd or 4th at 7k rpms is ridicules. It feels like a jet. On our pulls, at 7200 rpms 3rd gear we are at 94mph

Get drag radials... They really help. My 2nd gear is now somewhat useful. Lol

We don't run this one at the strip, just road courses and auto x. Before the SC, we would hook in 1st and 2nd. In boost though, forget about it.

There is no such thing as too much torque, just not enough tire!

Did you ever get final numbers from a dyno on either car?

Yes, once we did the base install, the car made 636.49 rwhp with the 3.60 pulley. Since, we added the Beefcake Torque Booster Setup and now the car puts down over 650rwhp and 500rwtq. It is now running a 3.33 pulley wastegated at 10psi

Here is the dyno after the initial install.
