Really nice car and my FAV year too! only things I would change.... it would sit about 4 inches lower, and it would have a gen3 hemi in it.

Thanks, although it won't go any lower unless you put a tube chassis under it. The front is a 1/2" off the bump stops. Gen3 Hemi? No way.

Went back to Irwindale and this time the converter is TIGHT! So here are some low boost passes. Time to start adding in timing, leaning out the AFR a little, and shifting higher.

I left on 6.9 pounds and the high was 10.6 with most of the run around 9 psi. The 60' was a 1.30.

My guess miss on your 60 ft. times a bunch blush those times are good with a lot of room for future improvements up

I think there is. I am short shifting it at 6500, the timing is at 24 degrees, and the target AFR is 11.5 to 1. Next week I am going back to the dyno to lean out the tune up and find the optimal timing as well as see if it'll continue to make power up to 7500 rpm. I still also can leave on much higher boost. The suspension isn't tuned all the way but its pretty close. So there is still a lot of R&D to do. This is so much fun. I am also planning on taking my freshly dyno'd set up to Irwindale the following Thursday May 2.
