a quick way to do it is open two tabs or windows. hit reply and leave the box open, open your gallery and go through the pics, inlarge one at a time and drag and drop. just drag it over the tab with the reply box or the window with it and drop it in the message area. or you can right click the image hit properties copy the stangnet hosted link and use the image tab in the edit options box in when you post and it will wrap
tags around the copied link.
ahh, thanks Red. I think those where a good few to bring over. They can go to the album from there. I don't want to bog down the load time for the post.
Thanks!
Thanks!
yup, put the HP 76mm tubo kit on there. First dyno pull was 700 hp at the wheels....had to put a lighter spring in and got the boost down to 11psi and 620 hp
First trip down the track was futile with the stock clutch, but with a ram set up it went 11.13@135 with 1st and 2nd gear being useless....going to put the 2:73 back in when I get home and see what it does then. Anyone selling a parachute

700 hp detuned to 620 hp, tfs 205s, 76mm turbo? so i'm guessing you have an aftermarket block? haha
well, as luck would have it after I bought the turbo money got a little tight, so it is actually the stock block, which is why I had it detuned as much as possible. I've done what I could on the bottom end, dowel pinned the main caps, stud everything and scat rods with speedpro pistons.....hopefully when I redeploy next year I will have the funds for a Dart block and scat crank. Then I can start playing with the adj boost control

you ran 700hp/620hp on a stock block? that's insane... pressing the pedal must be like pulling the pin out of a grenade 
yeah, there is definitly a little hesitation everytime! lol but if there is anything I learned is that what holds together does, what doesn't you fix!
Great numbers. When did you get your HP kit, reason I ask is that lately I have heard alot of peoplw complain about the quality, got mine 6 years ago and the quality was great. Had to wait forever for it though, I've been talking to Tom Barry and Nathan about doing twins on this car I'm working on, they owe me one for all the kits that got sold off my car.
quality was good. had a little jet hot coating to clean out to get the headers to bolt up. I had an injector go bad a month after install but they took care of that. The whole kit did take a little while to get, got all but the tubing in 2 months and the tubing showed up about 4 months from order.
I have to say though everytime I called they where very willing and able to help. It was the first time doing a turbo set up and they helped greatly with some questions I had.

I love to hear when a company has great customer service. not enough of that these days. congrats on the build man
