New turbo is here.

It's a little bit bigger than the mp70.

Looks good. Wish the LS1 cars had that much engine bay room.

Well the snow is almost gone so it's time to put the sleds away and start playing with the car again. I have a few upgrades this year to get my daily driver 9 second street car. I bought a set of 120lb injectors and a turbo blanket for the s475. I'm going to run pump fuel on the street and e85 at the track. The closest station is about 50 miles away but close to my work. I'm trying to work out a deal with the ethanol plant that's just down the road to buy it directly from them but I haven't got the right contact info yet. I will have dyno comparisons with the s475 on the car going from pump fuel/meth to e85 within the month. Anyone want to take a guess on how much power I pick up?
P.S. the car will be getting new paint too.

I took her for the first drive on E85 tonight and it pulls pretty hard. I haven't been in the car all winter so I can't tell if it's any better or not. Once I get the idle sorted out I will be getting my parts to install the s475 and 120lb injectors.

Not sure it made 587rwhp on pump gas/ windshield washer fluid last year with the same boost settings. I have a bunch more timing in it with the E85. I will get it on the dyno and track once I get the new turbo on.

I bought them off the turbo forums. Not sure on the dyno yet I'm going to go through the rear end first, put the new control arms in and I will probably hit the track once more with the mpt 70 to see if I can get it in the 9's with E85.

Well I got the new wheels on it. It took 46lbs off the car. I tested my E85 and it turned out to be E95. It sat outside in a plastic can for 2 weeks so I'm thinking that some of the gas has evaporated. I have a video of it and the valve train is louder than the exhaust.

Need to cut a bit off the rear coils to get her sitting right.

Here is the video of an idle clip. Does my valve train sound abnormally loud to you guys? I've verified pushrod length. 150lbs on the seat. Still have to check for good oil flow to the top end but there was oil in the top end when I checked the push rod length. The valve train is actually louder than the exhaust going down the road. It's embarrassing.

I don't know to tell you the truth. I've put a stethescope on them and I can't tell the difference. If it's the injectors they are really f'ing loud. So loud that I would consider going back to a blow through carb setup. It's louder than my buddy's solid roller. It's going to my cousins shop on Thursday so I can get it up on a hoist and check some stuff out so I may have him give a listen to see if he can figure it out.

I think you have a lifter problem. My friends WS6 sounded just like that before the lifter let go and ruined the cam.
