Nice thanks for the info.
Your Ghia must fly, have you taken down the 1/4 mile yet
She really does fly. No runs yet. I need to build a cage and stop breaking things. I broke a transmission mounting bolt and I'm pretty sure that caused the shift rod to smack the torsion tube and crack the nose. And my clutch is slipping. I'll be pulling the engine for the 5th time this winter...

I am. I've built it up with PPG gears and an OBX LSD. I've been running an Exedy twin disc clutch but I think its time to swap that out. It's a bit noisy and I'm not sure why its slipping but it is at full boost. I'll give it a good look when I get it out.

Have you received the uprated R/P yet? How did the old one break?? Was it under hard acceleration or launch?
I have the uprated R/P in now. Still breaking in a new (softer) clutch so no verdict on the set up yet. I think it will be fine. The other one broke after shifting into 2nd while spooling a bit of boost. Nothing crazy but spirited. I had an Exedy twin disc clutch that possibly transferred too much shock. This is the last time I will do this trans. If it fails I'm building a mid engine 6sp Ghia.

I feel your pain 100%! I'm not even going to ask what you were doing or how you were driving because it shouldn't matter. I just wish I were more surprised...

I drive hard and have about 1000 miles and about 14 1/4 mile passes 1.8 to 2.0 second 60 foot, pre loading the trans no dropping the clutch, street tires. this happened on the street accelerating in second.
Last year I was running 14 psi , 12.59 1/4.this year i have new turbo with air to water cooler, pulling much harder this year. Blouch TD05H-16GXT 7cm^2 Turbo Billet Wheel.
Todd sent out the new parts yesterday for free no ? asked, so i'm real happy with that, hopefully all goes well and i have it back on the road this weekend.
Most places wouldn't give a rats ass, it's great he stands behind his stuff.
