Looks like the underachieving turbo car went fast on only it's 3erd pass with a closer to right converter!
Still in the beginning stages of tuning, but a 8.41 at 173mph is not too shabby!
Congrats to Bobby, Tom at OTE, flying J engines, and the whole Over The Edge crew!

Thanks guys!!
It is awesome that the pieces to the puzzle are finally starting to come together! The new wastegate works great and the new converter is a ton better! Those two things together made all the difference.
The best part is that its got moooore! (Just not the 25.5 part)
Thanks a lot to Tom at OTE, the master fabricator!
Thanks to Jamey at Flyin' J for the motor that gets r' done!
And thanks also to Aaron, Andy, and Matt for all the help today!!
Couldn't have done it without all you guys!
