Should it be clattering at this low boost?

I've been running the 6s (TR6/4177) with good luck up to about 15psi. Stock compression 5.3 on 93 **** pump with wiper fluid and 15psi 78/75 VS turbo. Now wondering if I should be running 7s... hm. I spend alot of time out of boost as its a street car so I didnt want to go too cold on the plugs.

People always seem to rush to cold plugs, E85, low compression, etc just to run a little boost. Thousands of pump gas supercharged cars out there sent out the door by GM with heat range 6 plugs, people raise the boost and do boltons with the same plugs with no issue.

Take a look at the plugs if they look like they need to go cooler then do so, but I doubt the heat mark is that far down the plug on his setup. We've run the 7's to over 1200hp so running that cool of a plug for half the power doesn't really seem worth it.

Man up? I’m not a man because I want to keep my rare car nice? We had an inch of ice followed by 17” of snow just in one day this week then negative temps the next day. Other than putting my GTO away we went on like normal. This weather would bring Texas to a stand still. This is small town redneck central we grew up drifting gravel roads before we were old enough to get a license. On snow days we get cleared to drive our atv’s on the streets then it gets real fun. I had a low 10’s turbo Buick in the mid 90’s and a low 10’s gto in 2007 now I’m older and 10’s is t what it was back then, but I’d like to keep my gto nice because they are getting hard to find parts for these days.

I've almost doubled his boost on TR6's with no issues lol Also done tons of cars with almost a full point higher compression on 15PSI on TR6's with zero issues.

what engine and mods?
that would be pretty disappointing if I weren’t in the 500’s. I will say that according to my weight, et and trap speed and duty cycle in my stock injectors, I had to be over 400 wheel naturally aspirated. So I’d hope that 10psi would give me a little more than 500 wheel.

You in louisiana right? IMO they have enough E85 stations to make it worth while to go flex fuel. My nearest station is 20 miles away and I happily make the trip, just bring a few gas jugs when I fuel up.

Meh, no biggie. Long as it runs decent on the track/street, that's the real measuring stick. For a full weight everything intact street car, I'm satisfied. Another thing, show me a NA 365 cube motor putting down 510, and let's see how it drives. I think the real question should be, what are you guys running at the track? Top is spring pressure, bottom is turned up, 19ish i think. Take with a grain of salt, still on the 7.5 so no boosted launches. Bottom slip is on a tire, whereas the top was still on a 320 compound 315.
