Erick, you are one crazy guy!
That's sick!
I can't wait to see it in person! That's officially game over!
Nice build!

Hopefully, we can get the Orlando meets going again soon? I have some ideas I would like to discuss?

I'd like that, I haven't been to an Orlando night meet in quite a while. I am thinking of organizing a cruize in for a charity. I want to do something for the guardian ad litem group by way of a show or cruise. Something like that. The guardians are the people that go into homes of battered kids and take them out of a bad situation.
Thanks !

***Driving Feedback Report***
It was a big night last night. The V8 was taken out on her maiden voyage in an Orlando city cruise. The cruises I take usually last about an hour and cover Winter Park, greater Orlando, and Baldwin Park. The car is brilliant! The torque is present at virtually any rpm. If your cruising at 35mph, simply roll your right foot forward and the engine responds immediatlely. Right now we're only running on wastegate spring pressure (8psi), and still through the Sp400 it's making 381rwhp. That works out to 545BHP, or 463rwhp through a 6 speed if someone were inclined to apply the equivilent maths. We kept it low because the car has an appointment that it must make on Tuesday, so after that Darin can give the beans. Thanks to TitanDarin for the unbelievable tune. He's a real professional.
The transmission is FUN. I know some folks say that the Sp400 saps too much power, and creats too much lag, but the 4.7TT changes the game. Given that now there's torque, I can run a low 3400 stall. I can attest to the power being available at virtually any rpm. I say virtually because if you start from a dead stop oin 3rd obviously the car is going to be a little slow.
The car is surely heavier now given the body work, leather, and 80lbs more oin the nose, but the torque on tap makes the car feel light.
So in short, no real lag to complain about, plenty-o-torque, and very repsonsive motor. THE FUN IS BACK!!!!!!

Just the first update of many I'm sure. TitanDarin did an outstanding job of street tuning the car, and my god it drives well. The car is tuned for low boost now so as to be on the conservative side (it needed to make an appointment at the DMV this week).
The initial driving impression blows me away. Let me put it out there right now that the Sp400 is BRILLIANT with this motor. On the street, lag is vanished. Simply roll your right foot forward and the converter flashes to 3800, and the turbos come online in an instant. Even in 3rd gear, I can feel the torque there anytime I want it. It's SO different from how I remember the 2jz and that big GT47 88mm I had on there. The V8TT feels eager and ready to move the car as soon as I am.
Here's the quick specs on the pertinant goods:
Twin Bullseye 56mm's, .70 a/r
9.6:1 dynamic compression ratio
4.7L
214@.050, .366 lift cams
Sp400 stage 2
3400 Protorque stall
8si dyno

Overall I'm VERY happy with it's performance, and look forward to more boost.
