KY-Turbo Build
Last night at the track in hot humid humid *** air I trapped a 102 on 10lbs, leaving at 3200rpms with 2-3psi, very soft launches, but at 6600 where I try to always shift at, it feels just as strong there as it does at 5800-6000, I have spun it up to 6900-7000 before (rev limit is set at 7200 IIRC) and it felt just as strong as it did at 6600. I have a 227/224 57x./58x. 114+1 cam so it's not radical or big by any means. TR says it's powerband is 2200-6800 and I beleive every bit of that by what I have felt from the car, this turbo rocks

Made some decent progress this weekend, never thought i'd see manifolds back on the car again 
. Ended up ordering the fast 3bar and harness. We really don't lack much at this point, just taking our time and doing everything right. once we mount the IC and finish the wiring i'll crank her up. still need to pick up my injectors and install the other fuel pump but that just needs to be done before lsfest.

You will be hard pressed to find another 76mm turbo that can spin as high as this one without falling on its face. There is a guy pushing 18 psi on his 76GTS with a 365 LS2 on E85 here on Tech making 820-830 and 880rwtq. Granted he is using a 224/224 cam so he's only spinning it to 6400 with more cubes, but it is still damn impressive none the less.

Anybody know what part number aeromotive stealth pump I need? Looks like the 11142, offset inlet? I've checked their application .pdf but says TBD for f-body, so called and sat on hold for 15 mins and gave up.

Still trying to figure out what I'm doing for pump/pumps. Any ideas? Thought about just dual 255's since I already have 1. I've seen a few diy threads and it doesn't look too bad.

Should give me time to break it in over the next weekends. I upgraded my hptuners to 3bar OS and the beta platform. I had a friend in nashville send me a base tune to break it in on.The aeromotive 340 should be here today. I should be able to get it in next week or weekend when i get some time, as long as its installed before the dyno i'll be golden.
