This was interesting to say the least. Hard to shift the car when it’s sitting on a 10krpm limiter instantly after it comes onto boost. That was 3rd gear to 9500rpm.

This is all a new setup for him… he went 10.110 at 135.56 on **93 Octane** and on a stroker and 30r and pumpgas. Then 9.38 @ 156 on C16 and T3 DBBT67. Here’s an overtime vid… [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf7K1Vg6i-Q](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf7K1Vg6i-Q)

I’m getting excited for this year. There should be about 4 dsms in the 7’s (Shep’s back!), 5+ dsm’s in the 8’s, about 25 in the 9’s and oh so many in the 10’s. That’s just the dsm’s there should be a few evo’s out this year in single digit’s as well.

Corvette style almost… He says it works so much better than the old setup the car will almost not get up to temp with the fan on and takes forever, because he runs a 160 thermostat with a few extra small holes in it. It works so well because it’s not pulling heat from the exhaust and intercooler and it gets all ambient air it wants now.

I love his overflow catch and the fireball out the wastegate on the dyno vid is sweet! Should put some nice numbers down this year.

Is he still on stock rear end? Whats he using for trans? Shep or TRE dogbox??

I don’t see many 30Rs out there. Most people skip right to the 35R when they realize the lag is nowhere near what people used to make it out to be.
