He drove it for real for the first time today, he said he couldn't believe how fast it is. He's only running 10-11psi right now and I think we tuned his power surge out he was experiencing at around 5000rpm. He's maxing the MAF right now at just under 5000rpm at 60lbs/min. I'm sure he'll chime in.

I think the computer stops increasing fuel, and you start leaning toward the lean side. Parish knows for sure though.

You thought wrong.. The computer will still add fuel after the MAF is maxed out if its tuned properly.

Damn, I only get a little leaner. I am still guessing it's my 68mm exhaust housing that is keeping me fron higher peak #s.

yes got back yesterday and finished off a few things
Went for my first real Drive and hit it ..
This Freaking thing is a monster for sure pulls like nothing i have ever driven

Maxed the maff out at 4900rpms with a mere 10psi of boost
Gonna try and do some more tuning tonite with some more boost try out 12 then 14 psi
Were gonna see what this thing is made off
Big thanks To Seth for helping me out with tuning

We pulled up to a newer Procshe my buddy in the truck asks the guy if he want to go
he shakes his head no ..at that point i hammer it and break the nittos loose at 30mph and get 5 lengths and then slow down back to the porshce
My buddy asks the dude again ...he's like no way that things freaking fast ..asks what i have in there i say 6 cylinder

60lb's of air at 4900rpm has to feel good. i have been out doing some racing tonight and barely bump 60lb's and it feels good, thats at 11psi and with restrictive exhaust.

i predict the 1st or 2nd trip to the track ski will have the top mph on the list, not sure about ET
