Well done to Rob! I really like the location of the wastegate compared to the TT kit. Much better IMO.

Hey Curt, you can bust mah ballz but I went 11.02 with crank issues, NA, on pump gas and you went 10.95 with a race block and a turbo... Maybe you need to run a little faster before you can act like you can pass judgment on me sonny. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

It took me two PASSES. And that's all that there is on this motor so far.

I think the potential speaks for itself. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Im just razzin ya anyway. If you want to build a supercharged motor than I wish you the best of luck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
