K-member, LS brakes, LS rack, and Viking DAs got installed last weekend. Just gotta align it and get the brakes to clear my pro stars and hopefully, it'll be ready for its first 10 sec pass.

Update: Made a few passes last night. Unfortunately, I was there for 5 hours and only made 3 passes. 2 of which I missed a gear.
The good news is, the car is extremely consistent on launch. It's just not very fast yet.
It dead hooked every time with zero wheel spin. Even at 18 psi and a 5k dump and all 3 passes were 1.7x 60 ft. Not sure what else I can do to launch it harder other that leave off the limiter or bump the tires up to 20 psi.
My only good pass was the first one, which I didn't run very hard because I wasn't sure how the suspension was going to react. It was 1.7x, 11.8@117. I'm confident if I shifted faster I could hit 120 again.95 Cyber Grey Formula

It didn't spin at all on a 5k dump so I gotta say it was pretty good.

Pulled off a valve spring and had it tested. was sitting at 36xlbs open and specs call for 400+ so it's ready to be changed. Doubt it's gonna make a huge difference but every bit counts.

Got them all changed yesterday. It seems to be running smoother. Although it could just be a placebo effect. Gonna put it on a dyno Monday or Tuesday to further diagnose the issue. I have a feeling the stock WS6 intake with WS6 hood with the baffles still in may be robbing a few hp. I'll try running it with the hood open and closed and again with the airbox top removed.

I think I found the problem. Although it may be too early to tell. I replaced my coil and found a vacuum leak to the opti. It now idles smoother an the butt dyno had responded very well all the way to the rev limiter. I'll update again after the dyno.

Originally they were 195 but I had them ported locally and can't remember the size now. 205ish I think
