500 @ 6 psi
608 on 10psi lifting because fuel running out, I have some kinks in the plastic feed line thinking that's it lol pretty happy it's making 28~whp per psi so might go 700 on 15ish crazy. No wonder it's a handful on 6 psi

so i cut a screwdriver head off, welded it to the inside of my 4wd front hub and welded a hurst shifter bracket eyelet to the hub assembly and pointed it at the screwdriver head, bam, instant VSS2, and working traction control, now to model it out and tune it for the vehicle.
yes, even i think this is rediculous but holy fuck it works
