Car made first pass at the track (1/8mile) with the turbo setup last night. Went 6.95 @ 103.xx and blew a header gasket when it came on hard...thus only boosted about 13 psi. After new gasket, he tried to give it more boost and for some reason; thought LOWERING the fuel pressure would help...detonated bad & he let out to a 7.50 @ 72 mph.

It's got a 6.50 @ 106 or better in it I know.

Drove car to & from track

edit: 6.95 @ 103 is equivalent to around 10.90's @ about 125.
