Yeah the internal gates are really killing it. I might try to unplug the wastegates to try more boost as I think they are getting popped open.
The sidemount intercoolers are heatsoaking at these higher boost levels, they work great for pump gas, probably up to about 550awhp I'd imagine.
Car runs great, just I have a bad 2nd gear syncro. Best pass was a
11.45@135.xxmph off the trailer, no nitrous. I babied the 1-2 and spun a 1.87 60' on that one. I turned on the nitrous the next pass and all it did was make me consistant. The car was down on power the rest of the day (I couldn't get the heat out of the huge cores, once it heatsoaks its over). Off the bottle it gained around 35mph from the 1/8 to 1/4, on the bottle 41mph, consistantly. So I know its gaining power, I just need it to hook up at the line and get the 1-2 shift clean (new syncro). I didn't get a clean shift the rest of the day, ran a bunch of 12.0-12.2 at 125-131mph. However it was a good day because I learned how to get consistant 1.73-1.78 60's and keep it straight in 1st gear, I'll get some tires on there and a new syncro and be golden!
Its all working out bugs, and thats what I do. I just hate making baby steps with parts that I know are holding me back. I am going to give it one more trip to the track on the current setup (hopefully with a t-case housing and sticky tires, and a syncro) before I start to sell/switch out components.
