The 2nd run blew a vacuum hose and I had to limp the car back to the garage. 
The final dyno tune is booked for Thursday. Hopefully peak power/redline will be high enough that I can reach 100km/h in 2nd gear. |

Tried various techniques....high stall ( power brake ) RPM ( 2500 + ) and it goes sideways.
My best results are in third gear and about 1200-1500 RPM power brake, tail will go a slight bit out but no loss of control.
Ran a 5.49 0-60 in 90 degree F ambient, and 5.13 in 40 degree ambient.
The turbos really like the cold air and dense charge !
I use third because when I get to a 1/4 mile, it should go through the traps ( 3.07 rear ) and be close to max RPM in third. ( 100-105 MPH ).
It does "chirp" on the one-two shift and pulls the tail out slightly on the shift.
