Weight:
Tire size:

Stall Speed:

Full boost by:


So, lets hear it guys..

but to answer your question
CID: 325, stock 5.3
Turbo: on3 76mm 1.0 ar divided
Boost: daily driven 10-12 psi
Crossover size: 2.5"
Intercooler: 4" core 31x13 3" in/out
Charge piping size: 3"
Fuel: 93 octane
Trans: TH400
Weight: 4300
Tire size: 28''
Gear: 3.42
Stall speed: ~3200

Its kind of hard to tell full boost with the converter but its very fast. Below 3500 for sure

For this to be useful it would be better to see screen shots of data logs.

The camshaft used, the dynamic compression that camshaft gives you, your static compression, cylinder head and port design, timing, afr and a lot of other things will also determine when and where full boost or any boost is reached.

My 346, 241 headed, 227/224 114+2(I didn't choose this cam), 3800(more like 3600) FTI stall, 3.55 rear gears, 10.33:1 compression, 93 octane with 100% methanol used for secondary injection, 3900lb. race weight, 4" charge piping, 2 1/2" crossover equipped car made full boost(15psi) by 4000rpm with a PT76 turbo.

I think total amount of boost should also be given as that will change the rpms that full boost is seen.

I don't remember the AR. The trans shifts at 5500rpm. The housing is open.

With my f-1c i saw 24psi at 6700rpm now with my f-2 i set my rev limiter to 5700rpm and i'm around 26-27ish peeing water from heads, but before i set rev limiter the first time i stomped on it; it caught me off guard and i happen to be looking at boost gauge and it flew by 30psi+ by 6200rpm. The only reason i know rpm is i was logging data. My Kpa was maxed , only had 2bar os in the process going to 3bar os. Head pulley 4.5 crank 8". Pre pro charger the F-2 would max boost with my pulley combo at 6600rpm. I'm already toasting my 345's tires so for now 5700rpm is all i need.
