Here's some new video's of my SS.

My brother was down for the holidays which led to having some fun.

All videos on 12psi.

1st pull 30-140

2nd pull 60-135

and a decent burnout slide.

Hey Josh, whats up man?

Yes sir, that was one of the baddest races I have ever been in. Like I was saying it felt like a title fight everytime one of us shifted as we would bump each other a bit. VERY even race. 12psi feels great but like always, there's room for more.

Johnny's Z06 is NO slouch! Sounds incredible, but then again a procharged Z06 making 650rwhp is hard to keep quite!

Procharged D1SC Z06 vs. T76 FM SS = Damn good race and we will get the next one on video and hopefully I will be on 15psi and MAYBE edge him out. I am pretty sure we were about the same power level as I was running on 12psi.

I felt like a small time celebrity at the meet as everyone walked up on how it was the "turbo car on Tech". Very cool feeling.

You going with the 88 rear mount?

Thats the beauty of the 28x13.5 Hoosiers, they stick pretty good from a roll. If you listen closely on the video when I rolled into in 2nd gear it busts them loose but hooks pretty good in 3rd.

Yes, we need too!

Hey Reject, I was looking at your web page and saw you got a MGW shifter. How do you like it?

man i loooove it!! the shifter feels great, feels really solid when you shift. leaves you with no doubt in your mind that your in the gear you wanna be in.
i put on a hurst ball thing (dont know what it's called, has the shift pattern on the top) but i like the old shifter **** feeling better. it's worth the extra money seriously.

Yeah, I thought about that but it makes full boost pretty quick + our power curves are different as mine makes a TON of low end torque. At 6k or so you could tell his nose would jump out a little until he shifted and dropped back even then i would pull a nose or so then even it back up.

I have alot of weight modifications so mine weighs around the 3300 mark.

I think on 15psi I could pull away, esp after I switch from my 4.10's to 3.42's this weekend.

4.10's are killing you!!!!!! You know how good it feels in 4th hell my 3.42's pull 155mph at 6800 rpms with 26.6" tire So think how that would fell with ya setup!


only thing im worried about with ya setup is there is no support for turbo's weight other then being bolted up to exhaust pipe. I would think with some time driving it hitting bumps it could cause a leak or crack the pipe?
