He's not making power 'cuz he's got a big hole in his piping to turbine side.


Those numbers are fine for a mustang dyno...as previously stated. What specific size are the turbos?

I also think #'s are great for a mustang dyno. Thats almost 700rwhp on a dynojet.

rofl, go get that fixed and dyno it again! I bet your IAT #s drop quite a bit, remember that you can make the same amount of boost with a big leak but your turbo will be working much harder.

Obviously that is where the wastegate went, I think obviously anyhow??

Car made 660 in the end, but still floats the valves at 5500 rpm..

I'm going to bet that is over 750 on a dynojet, being that my car dynoed 420 here on a dynojet and 350 there on the mujstang dyno(n/a of course), and altitude was about the same.

I'm going to go back to stock rockers and pushrod lengths, and seee what happens from there.

Yeah, those 921's shouldn't be the culprit, unless they are worn out and have lost their tension. I couldn't see them floating at 5500-5800rpm. Those are still some huge *** numbers for 8# of boost, I am dang jealous. Hope you find out exactly what it is, and get to your goal!

Her eis the wierdest part is that it doesn't matter if it is even under boost now. I can just try to bring the rpm's up and once it hits 5800 it just wont rev any mroe adn the valves float...

That doesn't sound right... But it's not coming up on the rev limiter? That is the strangest thing I've ever heard. Are you sure timing isn't being backed off a ton on the curve and it's now allowing it to run past 5800? That is so strange.

As far as dealing with hp, I have nothing bad to say about them. They did take longer than promised to get the car done, but what shop doesn't?

I was always able to get ahold of Nathan or Jimmy, and they returned my calls within 24 hours..

I used to work at a shop myself and know what pita it is to deal with customers, so i don't get bent when someone doesn't call me back in 3 hours like most people...

Expect them to take about 4 months if you give them your car, I understand that to be the norm, but I got my car back and it runs good..
