Have not weighed it with this combo. Last season it was 2900 with me. But I've switched from aluminum to iron block, t56 to th400, plus the added weight of the turbo. So I'm guessing its in 3100-3200 range now.

Just an update took it out last night to midnight madness event with new injectors & E85

track prep wasn't as good it felt like the back end was all over the place.

1st pass on e85 7psi launch 12psi boost



2nd pass 8psi on launch ramped up 1 more pound in 3rd gear 13.5psi



3rd pass I put 3 more pounds of boost in but it lost power at the 330 & got out of it, looking back at the datalogs now seems I'm getting some faulty TPS readings on all 3 of these runs.

Spools quick as far as I can tell, don't have much to campare it to though. What turbo are you using on yours?
