Good work!!!!!! By looking at the slip there's room for improvement!

62mm class at PG2 should have a lot of people in it.
Should be interesting:cheer:

^ most definitely there is room. Since we had so much issue with spark blowout and not being able to keep the temps down Andre fabbed up a duct that uses the outside hole in the 2gb bumper going to the radiator which has been working perfect at keeping those temps down. Also he decided it was time to get the Dynatec ignition system and a cop to keep good healthy spark as he wasn't able to go above 27psi without spark blowout @7k rpm. As long as the car likes it we will push 40psi to 9k plus.

My car has been maxed @21 psi with a 13.5 wastegate spring and the light halman boost controller spring as I lost the heavy spring. I just got the small blue spring for the wastegate and that should get me close to 29psi. I've shifted at 9k like butter so I will push it a bit higher to gain some spool time and I will get a heavy halman spring if it's not fast enuf.

Jessie's car is @30psi with low timing just for a starter tune and if he wants we will add some timing to get more desired results. He and I went frum a 2nd gear roll and it was damn close. If I didn't have the Rpms he would have me for sure. That little s256 is a very bad ass turbo for sure.

Guys car is @17 psi on a gas tune pretty much maxing the injectors out so until he gets bigger injectors that's about where he sits. 2.4 is such a beast though. I have days where I miss mine....

Nice, even if I don't race sounds like there will be some nice cars there to put on a show.

can you share some pictures of the ducting. I've been trying to keep my AC functional without over heating, and this sounds like just what I need.

I'm assuming this won't help u since I tucked my half radiator in front of the passenger tire in the bumper but this is how I did it. Fiberglass all the way around. The pic only shows when I first started. Just molded everything as close as I could to bumper and added a fan pulling to help the pusher. Seems to work great so far.

Side not, got the ignition setup brand new.
Got it all hooked up and car started for like 10 seconds and just shut instantly off. I checked the fuse and it's fine. The dynatec still has a power light but no spark to coils. Assuming something internally failed. Probably gonna have to just order another if I wanna have any fun with lots of boost at pg. Otherwise it's gonna be a 28lbs is where my stock coils are blowing out. Does anyone happen to know if I cut the 98 down that this might not happen if I can't get this resolved?

Update on Andres car. So turns out we had to tune without ignition box. We were getting the same b.s spark blowout around 7k Rpms and 30psi, so I figured what the hell there is no knock maybe I'll throw some more timing at it and now I feel dumb for not trying it sooner. I guess I assumed with that much boost I would keep timing low. The car loves the timing I added and no more spark blowout. It's around 35-36 ish psi, I forgot to look and 22 deg of timing up top. We also dialed in the launch on the street. Being the car was around 27-30 psi with 11 ish deg of timing shifting around 7k and ran a 11.2 @135 I would assume the car should make a fast pass now with all the changes and a 9k shift.

Holy cow, sounds like that thing is going to move out

Hell yeah, the car has more in it for sure, but Andre was excited where it was at so that's as far as I got with it.
