This is the mark we hit at 32psi>
 This was the peak boost presssure hit on the run following:
 Which resulted in this:
 The original dyno visit hit this:
 But the IC endtank cracked and we were running out of fuel so a bigger fuel pump was added and I TIG welded the IC (my first time at TIG welding aluminum, much like brazing actually). We then returned and made this at 28psi:
 but we started losing spark at 30psi so the plugs were regapped and we returned friday. The picture of the cracked IC is as she sits now. It has broken in the same exact place and we'll be pulling it today to send back to Bell for further revision. 34.7psi would have been close to a 800RWHP pull, but the crack developed, which caused it to run way rich and being that a richer A/F mix is harder to ignite and we're already very close to the limits of the ignition system, it began misfiring after this occured. Hopefully Bell can take care of this in the next week or so and we'll be returning to the dyno, looking for the 800RWHP.. We're pretty certain that if we can realize that power level on turbos alone, hitting the big 4 wont be a problem. I spoke with the owner this AM about putting a beefy set of MT slicks on it and taking her to the 1320' to see what she'll do. I'm thinking single digits... Stay tuned.. Some other pics:
