Did anybody do anything spectacular to there car and are expecting to throw up some huge numbers?
I myself just started my rebuild for an engine, but i am hoping to be in the 550-600 horsepower range, but that won't be until the end of summer. Hope to see you all at bandimere.

I am hoping to put down 100 more hp, and maybe get 0.5 - 0.7 seconds lower ET.

Well my car was stock with a cat back at the beginning of winter and grand new. Now that it has 8 grand on the ticker, NOS wet shot, intake, full exhaust and I bought some slicks I should shader my best of 14.7 in sept. Next week Im chipping my car which is good for another 5 psi or so. So I should be dropping some serious time off. Then before august Ill be getting the ARP stage 3 turbo upgrade kit for my car so it should be very quck then.
I finally got the turbo 5.0 on the road this winter. V8 + 18psi should be enough to have some fun.

Did you make any changes between the first Bandi time and the 3000ft time? That's a pretty good jump in MPH for 2500 ft.

Fuel pump and 550 injectors and 20psi should put me in the 12s and if it doesn't then I'm selling the car. ;) I'd like to hit a 12.8 on the stock IC then by July hope to have a front mount in.
I also am getting my right rear bearing and front axle replaced and I'm getting KYB GR2 struts and maybe a RMR rear sway bar.

Im gonna be finding out this weekend how far 450s will go...I dont plan on keeping them for long so im gonna try and hit in the mid 90% duty cycle... I think with my set up 102 mph arent out of the question. My driving will determine my E.T.'s.
Next up for mods are 660s, FMIC, Tein Flex's, RMSway bars, and probably an L1R.

Lets see, I've added some drag radials, short shifter, nitrous shot, and will be adding a clutch and lightened flywheel here soon (have them in hand, just need to get them installed)

Im doing everything cash flow will permit and then some.
by season start I should have K&n and modded airbox, mbc@ a very conservative 13 psi and a gutted cat.
by cc event #2 or idrc hopefully will be chipped running higher boost. I am really having fun with the volvo because its something nobody I personally know is doing or has done and I see big improvements in its future, kinda like watching my kids grow up:)
