I really REALLY drove the car hard today, and found that I'm now pulling over 8000rpm, instead of power falling off. I just drove and shifted by feel, and found that my car showed nearly no lag. Checking the datalog, I found I was shifting over 8500rpm now, and a few times ran it up to 9000rpm.
Car felt like it was really in its element. Twin turbo pipe mod really seems to be doing the trick, as I've got more low-end grunt.
Feels great to just USE the car, although I've a wave of guilt now - hopefully, I won't be posting in a few days or weeks about spun bearings again. But the oil system held up and the engine was very smooth at full power at those rpm. All that balancing work definitely paid off.
But to just forget about the build, and just drive the car without a care in the world - man, have I ever built a monster!
