The car is on the road, and it works pretty well. I have yet to get into the boost much because the computer needs to be tuned for boost but all in all the driveability is pretty remarkable out of the box. I am seeing 22 mpg on the freeway and there are no heating issues whatsoever. I plan to put another few hundred miles on it, and also have an SCTA legal cage installed (I'd love to make a few laps at Bonneville) before it goes to the dyno. We think it will make 550-600 horsepower at the rear wheels on 9 pounds of boost.
My one regret is the brakes, I did have a set of giant Wilwoods off a Winston Cup car I was going to use but everyone on here said the 11" GM disc brakes kits are more than enough. I'm here to tell you they are not. Even out of the boost this car needs way more brakes. Unfortunately for me I sold the Wilwoods.
