Default Prelim STS #'s

471/461 @ 5.5psi

Hand Ported Stage 1 Heads with upgraded valve springs
212/218 .522/.529 114 blower cam (had 2 blowers prior to STS)
LS6 Intake


GT67 Turbo

Alot more work to do as my TQ curve is wacky right now. I think I have identified what is going on. We just did a get it running safely at WOT tune for the most part. Will hit the dyno again and continue tweaking in the next week or two.

Nice #s. You should pick up some more with some tuning. I picked up about 25 rwhp with tuning.

520-550 and I will be more than happy.

I bought the E-boost so I figure I will have to click er up to 8 or maybe 9 psi to get there.

Stock motor at 80,000 miles that I want another 40,000 out of so I am happy to stop in the 500's

Stay tuned. Probably do some vid's and such as well as lots of pics when I am done.

Thanks Kyle,

I must say damn this thing is strong for 5.5psi. It just jumps and goes when you nail it.

full spool by 3000 when the turbo is hot, 3400 when cold.

Turbo's Rule!

I was telling Rick that maybe a turbo blanket would help you keep the thing hotter? If they were not so expensive I would say just try it. LOL

I was thinking about that but I do not know if there are any negative side effects. Like will it trap moisture and cause things to rust out?
