Default New to the Board and LS1 Forced Induction!!

and you know what I LOVE IT!! Everyone deserves to get Blown!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I just finished my Twin Turbo instal a couple of weeks ago. And the car is running great, thanks to a certain somebody on this board, he remains nameless <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> . The car was tuned by Detroit Speedworks here in the detroit area. The guys did a good job there and have been very helpfull. Check them out at www.detroitspeedworks.com .

here are the numbers i have on the car so far.

Incon Twin Turbo, stock motor!

DSI made 4 pulls with the car, 2 at 6 pounds and 2 at 8 pounds

At 6 : 440hp / 450 tq

at 8 : 495hp / 497 tq

I am pretty damn happy with the numbers considering this was done on the mustang dyno at DSI.

Look forward to talking to you guys more

p.s. at 10#'s of boost, This car HAS beeten the famous Turbo Hawk. :lol <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> you know i am kidding harlan!!

Congrats! Welcome to the FI club!

Watch out for circling hawks, though... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Harlan-

yeah, you were a big help. Thanks

I have seen LOTS of honeycomb taillights, Before the turbo's. Not to many after the turbo's, Seen harlans about 20 times, won't stop me from racing him. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> but i do pick my battles. Maybe that is why. :lol

I am in the process of installing my "harlan" boost controller. Once that is on, i will turn it up to 9 pounds on pump gas, put her on the dyno and see what she pulls. I don't think i will have any problems getting over 500 rwhp. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> The car is a monster at 7 pounds, can't wait to get it to 9 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

and a harlan 2 step is coming very soon. RIGHT HARLAN!!! or do i have to make mine?

Joe
