Are you changing the boost and tuning on a dyno with wideband? Just curious how you are doing all this? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Ideally a Mustang dyno would be the best (real load) but I am curious as to how you are doing it
Cheers,
Chris

is that 15psi at 2800rpm? it looks like that at the still frames.

you are nuts. I know your smaller turbo isnt pushing as much air as the T76 but 15psi is still alot.
have you got it tuned yet, id be worried going that high with out the tune right.

How fast did the car feel, or were you spinning and had no traction? I know you know what 11.9's feel like did it feel a lot faster?

Have you autotapped intake air temps at all?

Thanks for sharing the info!

i did autotap at the track friday, it was low 60's outside.

the tap log shows a high of 14*C

that i think was in 4th gear, and it didnt spin but i never really gave it the chance to, just matted it for a second and lifted

it breaks 3rd gear loose at 10# so maybe it would do the same with 4th and 15

yes it feels fast, but there is power left on the table inside the tuning that i need to tap before i see a ten.

i have an overly safe ls1 edit tune in right now done by myself, but help from cablebandit.

the engine and fuel system is capable of holding more power than this turbo can throw in it, so im 'fairly' save having my way with the boost as above.

ive seen a high knock retard of about 2* so far, this low compression thing is really paying off.

further tuning will happen through autotap logs and some dynojet runs..

yea it was less than 3500 best i can tell, wasnt really paying attention, only trying to not go past 5k untill i have the 2nd fuel pump turning on where i want it.

remind you this was just a quick spike.. im not rolling through all the gears at 15.. not close.. around 10 right now, i have some timing to pull and fuel to add up top still.

supersport.. my 'fitment' was and still is not correct, but it is in and running.. last i spoke to rob they are 'still' looking at it.

the dump pipe is rubbing my steering and the rest of the exhaust is literally rubbing the frame at the moment, transmitting a little vibration i could stand to do without.

I guess the teething problems can be expected on whole new kit like that. Rob seems to be getting the problems sorted out though so that the kit will be right for everyone. Being a pioneer has it's pro's and cons <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
The car sounds awesome, and the potential seems unreal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I can't wait to see how it performs once you get it tunned in!
