Hoping another week or so before the base tune is good enough to start getting break in miles going. Once that’s all squared away i will try and post better clips of start up and some decent revs. Good progress report though.

I like the build and its cool that you are pushing this platform 😀👍

But are you going to run with that boost pipe?
It may work just fine but it looks wrong in my eyes with that 90 degree connection from passenger side turbo to the big pipe.
I think it would be better with a more Y pipe type from the turbos to the big pipe.

I mean I dont expect the modified drivetrain last 100k miles but do you have any estimation/ expectation?
as for full send cars used on a dragstrip only - ~300 runs between overhaul is a realistic period. gearbox overhaul and crank bearings inspection is what i'd love to do after this.

as for street use with night illegal races - 60-80 kkm seems to be achievable

lots of LOAD but not that much stress when properly built and tuned
