Boost was still turned down on that run. Only saw about 40 psi in fourth gear. Staged/ramped boost in first, second, third and fourth. Three years ago the car made 751 at the wheels @ 38 psi with a very conservative tune. Cams have been changed since then. We plan to run about 55 psi in fourth when set on kill, with a lot more boost (than that run) in the first three gears.
