And by the way, the calmness on your face during those burnouts made me LoL too. It's like you're just out tooling through town.

I have personally never heard of an engine destroying itself on pump E85 from inconsistent mix?
Just don't tune on the edge

Really? Theirs no need for you to give wrong information.
Skinnies made almost 900whp on 80s. Do some research before posting.

hahaha i like that game, i was thinking HOPEFULLY 40rwhp at least even on low boost.

maybe more the harder i push it

lets list out some facts

it did 516rwhp on 14psi WG on 15deg locked
it did 585rwhp on 18psi on 15deg locked

place your bets!

i was hoping for 550 on 14 should line me up for like 620 on 18 and maybe 650 on 20ishhh

Regardless of what it makes, the car is awesome.

WOW!! 51 pages and hours of reading, I just wish I could watch the videos it would make it so much sweeter!! You have inspired me to go ahead and take the plunge and put a turbo in my 85 C10. JY 5.3, cam, head bolts, and gt45(10-15lbs of boost) hopefully some low 11s high 10s.
