That is awesome. A real testament of what this turbo is capable of. For reference, on my old setup which consisted of a SBE LQ4, TU1 cam, LS6 intake, 4L80E, Circle-D converter, and a Turbonetics 7875, the car trapped 136 mph on 10-11 lbs. Trapped 141-142 on 14-15 lbs., but my car was a stripper Z28 so I am guessing it weighed slightly more than yours and obviously had slightly larger engine with a boost cam. I am really thinking of picking up one of these turbos for my next project.

What does your fuel system consist of tucn26? Sorry to bombard with questions, can't get over the success with such a budget setup.

Nope lol. I got the car from a friend and he had already swapped the 255 in place of the stock pump.

Wow. Lemme guess, stock injectors too?

Regardless that's pretty ballsy without a return/fpr. Most tuners around here don't wanna touch a car that isn't setup with a boost referenced regulator. What meth kit is on the car and what size nozzle?

I'm using SD 60s and a snow boost referenced meth kit. Snow kits come with 3 nozzles and I'm using the middle one, can't remember the exact size. I tune my own stuff so I was willing to experiment lol.

I'll log it next time I'm out. Afr is solid though.

It's for sure worth the 420$ I paid but I'm thinking about switching to a s475 now.

tucn26, still running 10psi? If so why? There may be a huge gain going to 12-14* and still be totally safe.
