Those chrome things above the side windows are awesome. Obviously no opitons were spared on this model car at the time.

What do you think that magnum 80mm is capable of putting out? I have a forged 370 and I just ordered the cxracing 80mm which is suppose to be identical with the magnum polished off.

im not sure, rob from modular turbo says its rated at 110lbs a minute, so that is like 1100 flywheel, at least how i understand it.

i would say this thing can do 800whp maybe 900? with good heads and intake

its doing 700whp with 2 bad cyls on my stock headed, 5.3 with a stock ls1 intake unlocked 80e

Have you seen the cx racing 80mm? Hopes its the same, I would be happy with 850whp and 650$ turbo!

Ok so here it is I've got 700ish hp now and I want more more more..... So I'm sure you all have read hot rods Big Bang theory! I've got a couple of these motors to pop and I know that I will never have the money to build that kind of motor so I'm prepaired to just buy 2 gt45s and do meth like Denmah. From what you all are doing ill have to buy a 1200 buck plus single turbo. I'm I being stupid or am I on the right track

Maybe just get the smaller exhaust housings and let 'er rip. Might still need to run some more RPMs to get some breadth of your power band... You should be able to make really nice power that way on reasonable boost.

Just sat down and watched all 62 youtube videos from denmah, you really are a mad scientist. They are really educational and a must see series for the do it your self-er. Keep them coming! way more interesting than "gears" or "two guys garage'

yes, just the fairmont videos. I was thinking of using the megasquirt system and you explained it in such detail it seems pretty user friendly. In one of your last videos you were using somethimg else and disconnected the msd, was that an experimental system or is it available to us? Keep up the good work and videos!

I think price is close but if you think about it theres a nice weight savings going from the MSD/MS1 system tot he microsquirt.

Definitely easier to have fuel and timing in one tuner program as well as data logging. Nothing beats real time tuning while the engine is running in front of you!

Oyea so from a inexperienced tuner stand point is the microsquit a lil easier 2 tune,I'm assuming it still uses tuner studio like the ms1. I'll shoot you a email later when I get home Matt
