Default Took the car for a little Ride..OMG

Well made 516 rwhp last week with my D1 and 7 psi. So I took the car home for a car show. It goes back to cartek for the T400 tranny and the F1.

Well I took it for a spin with only the 516hp anf omg I cant believe the way the car pulls. I only got to 4 psi and I got off it. I havent drove the car for 18 months so I guess having to drive a 18 second tahoe made thecar feel even that much quicker.

WOW , I cant even imagine the feeling with 16 psi thru the F1 anf the Turbo 400

Yea, you will easily hit that, when I build my motor I am going to push the D-1SC to see if it can take like 10-15lbs, and then if not, I will upgrade.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

How much can the D-1SC support??

I plan on doing the MMS pully when I get a built motor along with a 4.00 pully I believe, thats 12lbs, I will start with that, then work to 15lbs...

The D-1SC has lots of high end pull I hear...

As long as you can keep the pulley from slipping at higher boost levels(pulley speeds) it should be fine for 12-15psi although your shorts may not. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

BigBos, the stock sending unit that runs the gas guage doesnt fit in the tank. so I have no idea what amount of gas in in the car.
