So we took my car to TX2K9, dyno'd at 496 hp, it definitely has more in it. We only pulled to 6k (built for more) and it was cutting out up top with the boost around 25.

(The dude in the driver seat is not me BTW, they had someone drive it up for you. I was in the passenger seat logging.)
We were also fighting boost problems basically the whole first night of test and tune and the test and tune of the next day, it started making hardly any boost. Turned out that the coupler right off of the turbo had a whole in the back of it only letting me boost up to 10 psi. Thanks to the MVP booth we got another coupler and made things work. By time I got my car dialed in right, I got about 2 good passes, one of which was against Jay AKA suprahero. The whole time shifting from first to second was like hitting a brick wall then pulling the shifter through it, so those shifts were incredibly slow.

Then, in the actual competition rounds I had a by run... and of course right after I did my burnout and rolled up to the tree it would not go into gear. I fought it, turned off the car and then it went in and I told the guy "hey its working now can I go?" He said "sure but your time won't count." So I started the car and then it would not go into gear again. We had to push my car off the track and back to the truck
Thanks to everyone who helped push my car off of the track and back to the truck - I know there were WFO guys pushing and jugodegolf was helping too, and thanks to Fred AKA bigdough666 for the pics of my car on the dyno and being pushed off the track. Thanks to my girlfriend Amber for the cool vids.
Hopefully those problems are going to be gone though, because it has arrived. TH350 w/ transbrake and full manual reverse valve body.
