Nice job,

I love when you go back to look at the stripes and the area is still smoky! Hahahahahaha!!!!

Spoken calmly by Denmah "...I started to go into the other lane so I figured it was a good time to abort the run..."

Wow, that sucker really is runnin', AWESOME video!

So what is the current setup aside from running less timing?

1)Intercooler back in?
2)Back to gasoline?
3)Methanol only injection, or back to a mix?
4)Anything else changed?

i have run 26lbs, but i was kicking ringlands with too much timing, car makes about 700whp at that level (while two pistons were broken) lol

i think ill just leave it at 20-23lbs and call it a day for now.

How is the Magnum compared to the old GT45. Was it worth the upgrade? More lag?

i think that the GT45 is a better turbo for the money
this 80mm might make more power on a better setup than mine, but it seems to have only made marginally more than my gt45.

Heyman, you have helped me out a lot with my junk set up so I thought I would post this for you. Here is a video I did today just because the weather was nice. Not quite the sleeper yours is. lol However, this is 25 lbs of boost, no intercooler and my meth injection was turned off (cool weather) I turned the rev limiter up to 7k and the timing down to 13 at WOT. I had to get out of it a little because it started to break the tires early in the run. This run was me stomping it in 2nd gear at 52mph and I let out when I passed my wife videoing at 147mph. If you pause the video right before I pass her you can see it is literally trying to pull my front end off the ground. My cars weighs just shy of 4,000lbs and my tires are 315/60's ET Street Radials. The low timing definitely works.

How do I know if I need one of those? I have a -4 feed (like everyone else) and a 90* right before it. I don't think I'm burning any oil.

i just throw them on every car, some turbos dont need em, but its nice to have it relieves the pressure and flow to the bearing and makes it easier for the drain to work without a ton of oil.

but if you dont have it, and its working fine, then i wouldnt bother.

Right in line with the hitman monkey theme.
