Dang, Kyle,

I'm sorry if I was part of the communications issue...

The wheels will look great on all four corners though... and wouldn't you know it, you start posting videos and I'm at work and can't see them... dang it...

Now...for the car...

video of Dyno on my facebook... I do not have the footage because I am away on work or i would youtube it and post.

car is making a consisitent 680 with major wheel spin. DRs are on it and it is strapped directly down to the dyno. They are tuning the best they can right now. According to Cody, on the road it feels ALL of what we are estimating. We just have not been able to get it in data yet.

they are finishing up the full exhaust today (downpipes out of turbos were heard last night 2+ miles from the shop), going to wrap up a couple other issues and hopefully tonight I will get to take her home for a sleep over at the big barn!

But then... back to the shop for more button ups.

Tune for some good 60' runs and hammer it through the 1/8 once you are comfortable. Then drive the last 1/8 like grandma. That way you can extrapolate what you COULD run without getting bitched at or kicked out...

You know you wanna...
