In terms of the 1/4mile, I'm done with that stuff (I'm sure Jean would be happy to hear that too
) and I'll leave it to the other guys like Joe, Scott, Mark etc... I know my black car would trap 136-ish and this car is faster for sure. I'll prolly get some 60-130s or something if I need any "reassurance" that the car is fast. We know Joe's did 140 and ours is similair so...

What head studs are you using? ARP and if so dont you have to retorque them after 20 minutes. If not, have you ever had any come loose and lift on you under hight boost? What head gaskets did you use in your 3.8 liter kit? Did you use O rings?? Groove your heads?? Just curious to know what other 3.8 liter kits are using. Thanks for any insight.

Just a quick update now that I've been driving her and after Marty's post I figured I'd update ours too. With the release of the EVOMSit suite of software Todd/John/Mike took the TT back for a retune/refresh and here's where we're at. The conditions weren't great but I'm thrilled with the results. 114 degree heat, 100 octane, 20.5PSI run in _full_ AWD with a full exhaust and cats and bolt-on GT30s. The fuel system (really neat set up btw) is capable of more but unless we switch to ext WG's, no cats etc... then we're at the limits. I also want to just drive it on the street. C16 isn't practical and I have a 100 octane station near by so I have two modes, 91 (16psi) and 100 (20.5psi.)
There's a 720AWHP run on MS109 as well but at 23.5PSI but it's not how she'll be run day in day out. Either way nice great job by the EVO guys. Since the dyno the rev limiter has also been upped a notch and as you can see she just keeps pulling so I'm pretty sure out here in 85 degree heat and better air in Cali she's doing a bit more. She drives great and should pass smog too:P
