Its up to 20psi now. And two nights ago I went out for a ride knowing I wouldnt be able to drive it this weekend (just had four impacted wisdom teeth removed today) and I wanted to get some racing in. I ended up racing a beautiful black charger SRT8 with exhaust, intake, programmer, and "a couple other goodies" as the guy put it. At first I thought it was a 6cyl when I passed it but when it stayed on my bumper till 5K. I figured it wasnt. Once I hit about 5k, the car wiggled a little and I left him. Next I slowed, we got a nice 40ish roll run, I put at least two cars on him up to the top of 4th gear  Also did a real quick first gear with him after talking to him. Him and his buddy were shocked. I opened up the cutout just as the boost really started to ramp up. And the external wastegate dump doesnt get loud till it starts to vent but when it does, it LOUD!  `The guys were VERY cool and we bs'ed for a while. Finally one of them asked what was done to mine. I said a turbo upgrade, exhaust and a few other goodies. lol He says "Thats got to be one of the meanest sounding 6 cyl I have ever heard, very impressive." I kinda chuckled and said its a dodge 2.2l. His buddy sitting in passenger side dropped his jaw. lol It was a good night. I had no real idea of how fast the car was untill that night. While the SRT8 and I were playing, a lightning decided he wanted to play as well. It was not even a close race. lol I am very happy with this car, it is so much fun. The damn Holset sounds like a jet at cruise which gets there attention, then I open the cut out and it really does. I have got some very interesting looks from this car now. lol
I am uploading a video of a race I had with a coworker and his GTO (only the 5.7L and its stock :(). Its stock so I really didnt try all that hard, it was just a for fun race. We had no one to flag us for the takeoff, so I was trying to honk it off and get the revs right. He was yanking me by atleast 2 cars off the line because I was bogging, but once it stoped. I cought and passed him let off the gas and still beat him. lol I will post a link when I am done.
