Off the subject a bit but they have a couple of 1000hp twin turbo mag reviews linked on the afr website.I am pretty sure one of the builds used an carb type intake initially and then they put on a fast 90 intake and gained more power. But of course whatever a guy prefers.I had the fast already and aps used the fast 90 as did these two articles with no problems hitting 1000engine hp thru the fast intakes. And the fast fits perfect under stock hoods.

That looks excellent for a 480le. So you have a 402.Now what do you have for heads, exact cam specs ,intake manifold and tb,compression ratio. What was your afr and timing?
Where is the torque lines? Why did the one run end at 6200 and the other one at 6500?
Did you notice any sucking closed yet of the rubber intake pipes?
Sorry for all the questions but inquiring minds want to know. Oh and was this on just pump 92 or what octane?
If you were just on pump then with your alc hooked up would expect to see quite a bit of improvement as you can crank in more timing,lean it out possibly some more and of course dial up the boost. I really want to see those torque lines. I find torque really comes up with additional timing.
But don't get me wrong your numbers are already impressing me. Will of course be anxiously waiting for some driving impressions especially how the turbos pull as you go from about 6000 to 6500. The one line looks real good though not much drop off up there at all .After all we have a lot of naysayers on this forum about how the aps turbos are way too small for your 402 or my planned 408.But on the street a bit small is better than a bit big. And if you can hit 10s with "too small" turbos or a 9 then really what does it matter. Most factory cars have smaller turbos than optimal since smaller turbos spool up quicker and widen the powerband where its most useful on the street.
So assume you have some driving impressions or did you trailer it to the shop or thats where its been sitting while you worked on it?

Not much drop off at all because of the boost level of 10.5 once he tries to push it to 18 psi with race gas I am guessing a huge drop off above 5800 rpms. Jim when is turbo upgrade gonna become available?

Well today we got a late start on my car. Had a mustang on the dyno most of the day and we finally got a chance to put my car on there. I didnt have time to mess with the e boost so we decided to do some pull's as is. The car has been seeing 10 to 12 psi on the road (As much as you can watch a boost gauge and drive). But today on the dyno the intial spike was 12 psi then sayed right at 10 psi all the way up.

Im going to roll up to one of you guy's track events and try to have some fun
Thanks your car is sweet! Read about it a while back
If it doesnt Im building something else.
Thanks Peter. Kits is doing well so far. Waiting for your high boost duct's
I wasnt able to go to the track. It was about 9:00pm and I went over everything in the car. Went to log the AFR and noticed it was going to 12.4 at WOT when I would stab it. Gently going into boost 11.6
So we knew the map wasnt perfect so I had my buddy Shawn take the car. He was gone almost 2hrs tweaking it. The car has one problem as of now that doesnt show up all the time. Under WOT we have the AFR parked at 11.5 Then the 5th run all the sudden the voltage drops to 11.35 and the AFR goes to 9.8. So the car kinda wants to fall on it's face up high. After we verfiyed some things it's the PCM controlling the voltage. So this is causing the injector pulse width to adjust itself based on battery voltage. I have a 235 amp alt, So we are going to upgrade my hot wires and grounds on the car and try to correct it or tune around it. This was the main reason I didnt run my car that night. Hopefully this week Ill be able to take it out and have some fun! Last edited by JMBLOWNWS6; 02-11-2008 at 09:57 AM.

jm, how is your pcv setup exactly, any issues with burning any oil whatsoever so far?
