WOW!!! Good job pulling the entire car off the ground! Very cool!
So... you setup obviously runs great but I see that a LOT of boosted people are not running vacuum pumps... I thought that they were supposed to help the seals of the engine and the piston rings last much longer and prevent blow-by and have a lot of benefits... so why are many people not using them?
Just a question beacause I am curious, thanks!

what bore/stroke you running? 4.185/4.125? i was advised against any power-adder on my LSX by the builder due to the piston's position at the bottom of the cylinder (with that bore/stroke combo) and the thinner material between bores...did your custom pistons remedy this, or do you just plan on a total rebuild every 4 passes?

The owner was advised of this, but he insisted on this combination. So far so good.
We are a stocking dealer with Turbonetics. This one is rated for 2500 hp.
On low boost it made 1272 rwhp 1442 rwtq.

damn.. you guys should run a gyro or somthing to turn down boost when it gets over 30 degrees of elevation.. it looks like it will pull the wheels at half track under power only... sick....
