I've seen the car while it was at GTM. It is a manual. So I figure some learning will be needed for better times. Also, after re-reading ... GTM tuned it to 600+ WHp at 12 psi. His thread in the other forum said he is now running at 9 psi, so the boost has apparently been turned down for more reliability.
At 9 psi, my HR is made 470WHp on the dyno, so I assume his VHR with external gates and bigger pipes should be a hair over 500WHp at the same pressure?
In any case, to be knocking on the doorsteps of the cars in minicobra1's list is still pretty impressive especially for the first time at the track in unfavorable conditions. And I'm fairly certain the manaufacturers / magazines use pro drivers to turn out those published times too.
Although possibly more risky, the EBC can always be turned up 2-3 more PSI to "seal the deal".
