Once you get in the 600ish level you'll want more and more and more. Get some drag radials where you can feel the power.

I put my 28.5 by 16in Hoosiers on yesterday not only did it hook in 1st which surprised the heck out of me but it felt better having a little more gear. That's prolly the only reason it hooked. I also had 2 passengers with me and a full tank of gas. Turbo sounds extremely different when the car isn't spinning.

I put them on yesterday, it hooked in first. Only reason it hooked in first was bc I had 2 passengers with me, and a full tank of gas. I wouldnt consider those Hoosiers a drag radial more like a slick. 295/55/16 if any one is wondering what size they are!

Yeah traction changes a lot of things. We drove mine to church today and I rolled in it in 3rd and it just sounded like a rush of air between tire spin and turbo lol. But 4th after it warmed up after church felt nasty. Lauren said she could feel pressure on her ribs being pushed in the seat lol.

Cam is changed. It will idle but dies when I give it gas. So it will be hauled to tick performance in sat. Also stripped the heck out of the threads for the oil return line, doctored it up with plenty of Teflon and silicone. Also when we took the timing cover off the bolts for the cam and timing chain gear were very loose. Good them I decided to change it before the bolt fell out lol

Man the low end picked up big time. Should do even better when I get a full 3.5" downpipe made for it and change his wastegate spring haha.

Low timing, super safe tuneup as requested by Steven, and breathing out a little 2.5" downpipe. Which will change next weekend cause im making him a nice stainless 3.5" one which will be same size as the turbine outlet.

I Am sure the downpipe will help some. Still seems likeit would have mad low end torque though, lol.
