Default atomic on the skreets

I posted this in my million page build thread, but figured most dont check that, so here it is

Little skreet action this past weekened in Mexico...

Street Racing in Mexico - YouTube

I make appearances in the beginning, 0:16 vs a camaro (not sure on mods), 0:49, and 1:07.
The white evo is owned by Walker (the guy that made my new hot pipes), and is 500-600whp.
Apparently the let off point is exactly 600ft, so a little shorter than an 1/8 mile. I was around 100mph when I let off so it seems about right.

I am still having issues with the wastegate...with the cutout closed it will now hold it around 12psi though, which isnt bad, but with it open it still wants 20+. More than that, my truck starts to misfire above 20psi. If I can get that fixed I may just let it eat The new shocks seem to be doing much better, truck launched great all day. Log says the truck was around the 700hp mark since I cant open the cutout all the way.
