Man their are some sick *** cars here in this section. I will certainly not try to push the envelope too much more than 15psi on pump gas from what I am reading

I am not as concerned with power as getting it to the ground, which has been quite a task. The Turbosmart EBC has really helped here!!

Boost should not be a concern, power and traction should. For instance, with a better top end on my setup, I would make more power at less boost, but like all of us, I have to work with what I have.

-Stock aluminum block
-Stock crank
-Stock heads(ported)
-Stock intake(ls6)
-Stock throttle body
-Stock PCM
-Stock MLS head gaskets

-GT35 BB twin turbos
-96 lb injectors
-Forged pistons, billet rods
-ARP studs through out
-Spearco intercooler
-Professionally tuned by Me and Myself and I


I like to keep it on the cheap!

my hero!

I made 803 rwhp @ 12psi on straight 93 octain...The head gaskets were hangin out the side of the motor and i was only able to pull the car up to 5700rpm. Some reason the car was breaking up and falling on its face anything over 5700rpm. I'm hoping the boost was just blowing the spark out. MSD coils here i come.

Can't wait till i can pull it that extra 1000rpm. I would assume 875rwhp is probably about were is should be at 12psi.

Are you saying the head gaskets blew? If so that power is much more then the motor could handle at your boost, AFR, and timing level. Be careful.

I doubt you're blowing the spark out at that level because of a lack of coil power issues. What plugs are you running and what was the gap set to?

No they didn't blow becuase of the power. They were **** gaskets. They were the SCE titans. Everyone should stay away from those. I put another set of Cometics on and now it doesn't push a drop of water. But it still blows out the spark at 5700rpm. AFR and timing is right where it should be so thanx

TR6 plugs gapped at .026
It's def blowing the spark out. It pulls smooth then breaks up at higher rpms. It's really the only explaination it could be.

My motor can more then handle the power/boost that it's at.
