The Boost Goose (T6 swapped 760)

Haven't dynoed it and I'm still running conservative timing and probably way more water/meth than I need. Don't want to blow it up. Yes, it peaks at 28psi and tapers off to like 26 at 7000rpm. Once I can tune it I'll wind it out to 8000rpm, but I think I'm running out of turbo at that point.
When it's cool out (like 10c) it will spin the tires in 4th gear. It's sketchy.

Woah!! You have a tranny/clutch killer in your hands there!!
 
Thanks for the ride yesterday! Both your and your brothers cars are looking great. Certainly gave me the motivation to keep working on mine!

Fastest Volvo I think I've ever been in!

Amazing build man! I'm still trying to scrape together money for my Redblock 740

I am of the opinion that a 6 cyl whiteblock is a more cost effective way to make good streetable power than a redblock, these days.
Pretty well every redblock needs pistons and machine work, whereas nearly every whiteblock can get away with cleaning and re-assembly with chinese rods. Then there is the head flow advantage. I'd rather have 24 valves than 8, and and extra 2 firing events per rev as well as an extra 500ccs.
To make good power you gotta swap the transmission on either, costs about the same for a redblock or a whiteblock. Gotta do standalone, costs about the same (maybe $8 more in connectors and pins for a 6 cyl vs. a 4).
To make good power with a redblock you have to sacrifice low end torque and drivability.
For less than the cost of assembling a fresh redblock I have a whiteblock that drives just like my BMW does off boost, and handles 28psi.
