Nothing really too special. I don't know how fast the car is in terms of 1/4 mile or how much horsepower I make. Unfortunately right now I'm on the stock intercooler, I'm waiting on finishing a Haltech job into a Mitsu Eclipse to get a Spearco to throw on there.
I did manage, however, to outrun a Ferrari 360 Modena at Willow Springs yesterday, on the straights (he couldn't take the turns, but that was driver, not the car). And before heat soak, I'd match up against my buddies C6 Vette. I couldn't outrun him, but he couldn't catch up to me. This was coming out of turn 7 and between 60 & 100 mph. I was impressed, with the correct intercooler and intake air temps down below 150, the car should be a hell of a lot faster. My boost controller is set to 8 psi but the car would constantly climb to 1 bar in 3rd and 4th. I could hardly hit full throttle, except for a couple times. In an attempt to help save the motor, due to the high intake temps, I never went above 7K, and ran a 80/20 mix of 100 octane & 91 octane.
I prefer twisties myself, cause I can't seem to launch well when I'm trying to drag. But I'm down for both. If were hitting up a canyon run, you definately won't catch me going ***** out - too much to lose with nothing to gain there - but on the track, I'll give 110% of what I've got.

EDIT: Also giving everyone a head's up, I'll be hitting up the Open Track Racing event on January 18th, next year, at the big track @ Willow Springs. Registration is $145, $150 if through PayPal. The guys who run it are real laid back, and you get lots of track time. Anyways I'm not sure if anyone wants to, or can, go to this event but I figured I'd give everyone some advance notice if they were interested.

From the wording of the flyer, the practice on Dec. 10th might be full before we even mail our checks in. I think our best bet would be to mail a few checks in one envelope, and try to somehow get it postmarked very quickly.
January 14th, however, is hosted by my club, so I can guarantee that we all get in, especially if people are willing to help set up early on Saturday morning. It also happens to be the second Saturday in January.

But forsure count me in for January. I plan on tunning for 550whp is too much for the track, but 15psi(400whp+) will be fun enough.
