No doubt but if / when I nuke the C4 I am not going to be in much of a hurry to go drop a bunch of coin on a trans any time soon. We just purchased a pretty good sized short sale home and are putting all the extra coin in it for the forseeable future.
I am backing it off the 30lbs, I just wanted to see if it would go their as easily as my engine builder said it would years ago. I'll jump it up from the 19lbs though that got me my current best et to 25 lbs or so. The hp gain from 19 to 25lbs is massive as compared to going from 15lbs to 19 lbs. It'll be fun. Best of all it is still completely street legal and without a bunch of trick suspension shit.

Oh man I can hear the chickens clucking from here.
306 ci built R block.
Edelbrock Performer RPM heads that have been worked but still have under 2" valves. Certainly nothing fancy but I have had them forever so I kept them.
Motorsport F Roller Cam
82mm GT47
Twin Tial wastegates.
C & S Carb 1050 cfm
On 14lbs of boost it put down 731 rwhp and 876 rwhp on VP 110 with no additives. And it was not some peaky Supra dyno graph either.

Me and my trusty screwdriver. No joke.
No laptop here !It makes a shit ton of power because of how maticulous my engine builder ( Fulco ) is. He built super speedway motors for Ray Everham and built the record setting Celica and a few Mustangs that the Scrantons use to have. So my crap box had to be a breeze.
