Thanks Christian,
We are running wastegate pressure which is 8 psi. Ive been driving the car for the past two days and it's insane. Drives and looks as if it were stock till I floor it and the gate opens , lol. Boost comes in really quick. I was very surprised.

As far as street tires, Michelin Pilot Super Sports are the way to go.

So what's next up in terms of work on the car in your pursuit of 800+ HP?

Next comes the motor, some fuel mods (we'll be manufacturing rails and a kit) and MORE BOOST!

Then Albert just needs to make sure that he's right with Jesus so that he can enjoy the power. hahahaha

Sounds like a plan! Got a timeline for this or is it just whenever the stock motor goes?

It's not that I have no confidence in the OP or the build at all. But I've seen guys with money for this kind of stuff go this route before. If they have a built motor ready to be dropped in, they beat the hell out of the OEM one. Replace it when it dies.

Low 500s is based upon the stock block, they're building theirs which will allow for much more power.
