Did not get to take one on initial start up. These are without any tuning as I have not gotten that far yet.

Well it just went for a a couple short test runs behind the shop. All I have to run it on is a strip that is about 500-600 ft long.
Just stomping it from a dead stop they are laggy (fully expected) but they will start to lite about halfway thru the strip and when they do you best hold on because the boost jumps quick
Of course it has not been drove any at all and has only ran a total of 20-25 minutes in the shop so there is still air in the HPOS and fuel system. The bad part is when they do start to lite good I have to let out and slow down again.
Boost numbers are around 25-30psi when I have to let out.
So from my few short runs I have made I am very pleased with the results so far.
I am getting ready to head out and pick some tires up so I can hook it to the sled tonight and see what happens.

UPDATE after Pulls....
Saturday night was not the best night for myself or my buddy Ross who drove a little over 3 hours to get here. The sled broke down 3-4 times and it was 1:30 in the morning before we got to pull and I was dead tired by that time and almost went home early.
The first puller in the class appeared to have smoked his clutch trying to move the sled and he got no where. Ross was the second puller and I am not sure how far he pulled but it was around 95 feet and all he could do was spin. Then from the third puller on they all pulled 200+ ft. So I think they did not have the sled set right for the first puller and second puller (Ross) and they both got screwed.
Now when I got up there I guess I was tired or just plain dumb as I forgot to pull the transfer into 4wd low.
So I brake boosted to about 10psi and when I let off the brakes and started to move I finally realized what I had done. So I let out of the fuel to stop and get a re-start in 4wd. Well when I let off the fuel the truck died and would not start back.
So I got pulled off the track back to the pits with my tail tucked between my legs. Once I got back in the pit the truck fired up again but it was too late to try and pull again so I loaded up and went home.
Even though things did not go well I guees it was not that bad of a night since nothing broke or blew up.
I just feel bad because there were several people that came up to me and said they hung around that late just to see my truck pull and Ross drove all that way really for nothing now. It is to bad I had a brain fart and disapointed everyone.
Guess I will be looking for a pull to try again next weekend.
Anyways, I promised videos so here is a real short one.
