BTW. Have fun breaking my numbers on that dyno. Send me those cam specs. I need to know what they are and how they compare to my setup.

No doubt! Yep still no intercooler. I was playing with the idea of water meth, but it wouldnt be on till i have the car worked out without it first. So maybe next year depending on tuning factors.

nope. its all in the tune. no meth kit. ive seen to many cheap *** ebay intercoolers get heat soaked and i wouldnt waste my money or time on one. for a good intercooler im looking at 1000+ bucks just for the cooler thats not including piping and all the v-bands and other crap.

and thanks for all the readers.

I checked your vids and never saw any dyno numbers. seems like it took a while to get the turbo to spool. Do you think the new setup will get to the peak power quicker?

It sounded like he was on top of the turbo as soon as he got on the brake. Love the build. Looking forward to the results!

Yea it was a slugish when not in boost. Im trying to change that. But it still made good power. Around 775 on a mustang dyno.

wow. you ran some great times considering the power output. alot of it has to do with your weight. I really would love to know specifics on your weight savings.
