So IG says it made some pretty good numbers at ATP!! 4-digits on the "tow tune" LOL. :rofl::thumb:

Yes sir, completely happy with the tunes we have now :woott:, DSP #1 (Calli clean) made 1050hp virtually smoke free up at ATP's elevation. Big tuneup was a 1450hp monster. It chewed up the slicks like a cheese grater on the rollers (we picked up 200hp by adding another strap to the rear to hold it down earlier, but still spun on the big tune).
We spent a bunch of time working on getting the turbos to lite as fast as possible, and cleaning up the tuning tons down low (my main goal). Even at elevation (DA showed 3998ft at 10am, can't find it for 5pm) the triples now lite easily at 2800rpm on the Trans brake, and we never touched the bottle the whole day. Can't wait to get the car buttoned up and hit the track. I'll be on the small tune for a while learning the car. I was out four years with my knee injury, and excited to start driving again. Huge thank you to Rob and the ATP crew, great group of guys always have been!!!

Was shooting for NHRDA Az., but I need to get things wrapped up around the shop and see if I have any extra time to get ready.., wish it wasn't so soon.

Car looks sweet that's for sure.
I probably missed it but what's the weight and turbos?

Um, Russ.....that car is going to be a handful (meant in a good way). Man, you are going to have some fun. :)
What was Rob's opinion of how it ran once he hit it a couple times?

He had a grin the whole time, and was very happy with how the car responded to the tuning. If he sees this, maybe he can comment his thoughts haha:driving:

Man that looks nice. Does this car have the solid aluminum with steel incert heads?

Thanks! The Nova has Wagler standard port heads with small valves (.020 bore). the Camaro has the new billet raised runner heads with steel inserts. I'm dropping the Camaro heads off to Guy this AM so he can get the billet Camaro motor wrapped up.
