Steve Petty tuned my car on the dyno last week and with the Methanol /water injection, bigger 120#/hr injectors and Petty's tuning skills the car made 924rwhp/ 986rwtq with less boost and a very streetable tune. I only had a few gallons on VP109 race gas mixed with 93 octane pump gas so we could not push it any harder but with more race gas it is capable of much more.
just a bit

well got everything in, boost and wide band hooked up. turn the key and the boost gauge turns on but no wideband. gauge is getting power ground is good. but no lights or anything on the gauge. also couldnt get my laptop to see the serial adapter for the wideband. but i found windows drivers so i used a different computer and downloaded the tune.

no idle, because the wide band doesn't work, the gauge doesn't come on, and i haven't been able to get the new sensor in but i grounded the sensor to the block as if it was there. once that problem gets fixed, i have to redo the oil return, drill the oil pan, install the gm iat, and then new intercooler. finally tuning.
