LOL @ VR-4ever...thanx Jay.

As for that program doing the calculations, I am shifting to 4th RIGHT at the finish line. 3rd tops out at 90 exactly (well maybe a BIT higher, but I don't like redlining the engine too much, so I shift between 6,200-6,500).

Like I said, I was pretty much spooled up from the 60'-80' mark on up, and there's no ing way I'm only making 394 rwhp...I was making close to that ON THE DYNO with no boost controller (about 8 PSI, barely creeped to 11 PSI at redline)...now I'm making a solid 15 PSI...closer to (maybe higher than) 450 rwhp, and probably 385-400 ft/lbs torque.

I've already made up my mind to run it in Bradenton this weekend, only problem is that they are having an NHRA Nationals meet there this weekend, so I don't know how bad exhibition runs are gonna be...

If things happen I'll let you know!
