QMP Formula Meets Its' End Tonight..... .....well, end of the T76 turbo that is! A-Ha!!!! I bet you all thought I blew it up, didn't ya!!! Nope. But we are out of turbo, and with the stock motor at that. Whatever will I do when we put the new motor in??? 
Anyway, short and sweet (at least for me...):
Put the new SPEC Stage 5 clutch in today, bolted on the ET Streets, and strapped it back down to the dyno. Boost was set at 13.5lbs. I had 93 octane pump gas in the car, and topped the tank off with Turbo Blue (it took almost exactly 10 gallons to fill it up). No C16 this time....drum is empty. Straight Methanol with the same settings as before.
RWHP: 775 @ 4900 (it was still making 725rwhp @ 6000)
RWTQ: 865 @ 4400 (it was still making 640rwtq @ 6000)
*It reaches 700rwhp at 4400rpm's....talk about one flat HP curve!
A/F Ratio: 11.0:1 @ 6000rpm's
As of tonight, we have now made 141 FULL dyno pulls since installing the turbo. And over 20 of those were over 750rwhp. I still can't believe this thing is staying together.
I say we are out of turbo, because I tried to turn up the boost, but it did no good. We started out tonight at 14.0lbs of boost. Turned it up to 14.5 and lost power. So we started turning it down, and gaining power. 13.5lbs was the sweet spot. Based on the compressor map, this T76 turbo is good for approximately 900fwhp. Deduct a 15% drivetrain loss, and you get 765rwhp. Pretty close.
Dyno graph will be posted tomorrow for sure.
Only 2 more weeks until the tracks open!!!!!!!

Congrats. You guys are really doing something. I sent you an email about the turbo kit, I'm more than interested...but got no response. Is there a better place to email or do you prefer calling? I run an automotive repair shop and I know phone calls can get pretty overwhelming.
I'm really impressed with what the stock LS1 can handle. Thank God there are some guys out there like you, no quams with blowing **** up.
Take care and congrats.

That is just freakin impressive Rob. 775/865
at those rpms, just outrageous. How much to ship my car to you to have it tuned right?Jeremy
PS You did freak me out with that title. I want to see that car run down the track with that LS1 that could.

wow!
so what turbo are you going to use next? T88?
rob you appear to realy have your $#it together!
If you can do all this with a stock engine I'd really like to see what you could do with a fully built one.

Maybe you can extended the time that you run the setup on WOT? I'd be interested to see if the setup can handle WOT for say 20 seconds plus without breaking. I'd be interested to see what broke if it did.

That doesnt make sense to me Rob, i thought you were running more boost before
or is that the boost at redline, as the T76 cant hold it at the upper rpms
how come your gettign so much air at the 13.5psi?im not seeing what you did different from last time
isnt the turbo blue lower then the C16?
me not understanding??

Yes Todd....Edgewater opening day. SmokinHawk, the difference was only the clutch and fuel. We dynoed 767 before, but we had to start the pulls at 4500 due to the slipping clutch...remember? This time we started at 2500. I also added a little more fuel to the tuning.
