Its on boost just before 4k and the tuner said it should easily rev to 9k so it will have a good power range. Getting it tuned next week on e85 tuner predicts around 550hp atw o_O

sh*t thats insane how does it drive? assume you have LSD but torque steer must be pretty high esp through lower gears? Even with 7psi I still have it with LSD! but it does look absolutly stunning

A little bit of necro never hurt anyone.
Plenty of 6A12's here yes there's always plenty of people saying about oil starvation in the bottom end. I for one have spun bearings twice before I could make it to the track.
