Art, all I can say is wow!! and congrats!!!. incredible times
As for Switzer, I think he uses Cheech and Chongs Magic dust in his kits, cuz I have no clue how a stocker can run as hard as his cars do. Amazing tuning for sure. I am sure he could take a second off the 60-130 time if he had Secans...

Art is the man, takes some serious cajones to run the B9R like that!

Thanks everyone for the support as always. I pushed it to the max this time and does not mean that more is better each time
When you increase boost it becomes very tough to put the power down being RWD. BBi really did an amazing job of putting this motor together though they are the ones that deserve all the credit. Art

So that's how...lol. I knew it. Where is the giant doobie ??
That would go against our DARE program... 
Enough threadjacking, Art, go put the VHT down on that road, hit the tires with the heat gun and get that 3.99 like we all know the car will do!

Art,
I believe we are using the same ratio's in the first three gears. What was your reason for leaving 4th thru 6th gears stock?
You have a truly amazing setup. I hope you keep her long enough as once mine is finished I'd love to be able to run the two cars together. It would really be a lot of fun.
Again, congratulations to both you and Betim on a project well done.

Update: I tested the car at 36 lbs of boost on Saturday. As you can recall, the car put down 1032whp at 31 lbs of boost and this power is close to little over 1100whp. If you take a close look at the Back it Up TV show, my car in second gear was pulling the whilte Ford GT hard (28 psi) and the clutch gave out top of third gear and I let go. Car weighed in at 3100 lbs, weather was 48 degrees, C16. Clutch holding perfect and engine is solid as a rock. I tried 3 pulls but nothing better than a 4.3 and 4.4. Boost comes in so hard the tires spin in second gear and the car going sideways until I hit third. Tried no shift as well but tires still spin at that boost level in 3rd gear. Car is violently fast and the steering wheel is extremely hard to control at this boost level.
