So do you plan to take it to the track again with more boost?

8.73 @ 159, 3815lb car on 17" drag radials. 6 liter with a PT88, 1.35 60'. 23psi but he said it was inflated since it was through a ls6 intake/ls1 tb. He later switched to a drop in 91mm housing that gave him a very minor bump in power, I think he said it was worth 3mph in trap.

3mph is a lot when your trapping 160. the 91 spooled quicker too. I think it picked up 100whp


Willizm,

Suspension
Viking DA Coilovers(MWC) all 4 corners
BMR Lower A-Arms and Turbo Kmemeber
UMI LCA's, Torque Arm, Panhard Bar, SFC
MWC Drag Bar
How much playing around with the suspension did you do? 1.2 60ft is a hell of a launch.

Willizm,

No a whole lot honestly. MWC gave me some baseline settings to start with and I cut a low 1.3. I played loosened up the fronts a touch and ran a 1.28. I left it at that.

Not too damn shabby. I've seen that turbo do well on 2J's, and I always figured it would do nicely with an sub-350" engine.

If you know 2j's pretty well then you probably know Sharkey's blue supra. I bought this turbo off of him. He had this turbo and made some serious steam out of it. I'm not even pushing this thing hard.

Aha, yes I do know John. I noticed that you were from Chitown, but I wouldn't have guessed that.

Yeah, from what I remember he made good power, those turbos are powerhouses.

Just don't buy his 6870 lol, it may not work as good.

Yeah Johns a pretty good friend. I was actually trying to sell the turbo for him but ended up borrowing it to see if it could fit. Well it fit really well so I ended up keeping it.
