Just ordered the GT2560 through DDMW.
He also has my extra exh mani at his shop.
Things should start progressing rather quickly in the next week or so.

Doesn't that Honda have a higher compression ratio though?
Good to hear that things will be moving along.
Which thread will the details go into? since you have like 3 relevant threads going now, you might as well make a new one. It would be a cool feature on the forums to auto-subscribe to any new threads created by a certain user, like a "follow" feature, or the opposite of the ignore feature.

Preloader, just saw a thread someone posted with a youtube link to a guy running 1/4 mile times. At the end of the video, he's running spare tires on the rear.
I know they're only rated for 50mph, but it could shave off another 0.1 seconds off your time!

They may shave even more off than that, between weight savings and reduction in rolling resistance.
It's not in the cards for me though. My build is geared towards street car performance. However I will take the approach of raising the rear tire pressure and not going so low in the front. I think 18psi was a little low, even for my 40 wall BFGs.
Also, when my funds recover from my turbo swap, I plan to go with lighter forged TSW wheels for track days. But I intend to race with the same equipment that carries my car the hundred miles to the speedway. Just tire pressure and suspension adjustments in the pits.
I hope to go once more before the turbo swap. My last trip had multiple issues. Boost leak from missing seal in BOV. Faulty Chinese injectors. And late shifts due to the lag on the stock tach. All of those issues have been corrected, and I'm confident my ETs should improve..... Even if only a little.

The reduced weight from running on donuts would likely be more than counterbalanced by the increased rolling resistance. A user (site owner, I think) on ecomodder tested several different tires, including donuts.

Interesting data. The theory for using donuts wasnt bad. Have you seen the dinkies up front on top fuel and alcohol funnies?
But donuts by no means are designed for the same purpose. So maybe axelripper could improve his time even more with dinkies in the back designed for such purpose
Then again, while the test in the link is based on resistance, there are different physics involved. Naturally a wheel as light as a spare donut will lose its kinetic inertia faster during non-powered coast.
But in drag racing the same light weight wheel will have less resting inertia to overcome during acceleration and should be advantageous for the non-driving wheels.
It's not black and white enough for me and my stubborn skull to accept as fact.
Maybe axelripper could try a run without the donuts and see how much of an impact it has on his ETs.

I still plan to start a new thread for my turbo swap when it's a little further along. But in the meantime, here's a couple teaser pics Dave sent me of my baby.
This is what a turbine should look like.
bro, do you even boost?
