Default Short update on my Formula
I lent a friend my BS3, so once we wire it back up I'll put on the new slicks and make some hits. Hopefully one of my local friends who knows the BS3 stuff like Michael and Neil can help me change some settings so I can come out on more boost.

Haha no progress there.

Car was running fine before I lent out the computer, so I'll start making hits at 20 psi and see what happens.

I like a racer that "starts" at 20psi. I'm getting old. I start at 10-psi and work up to 18psi after a few runs.........

So how often do you plan on loaning out standalone systems?

GT47 is a bigger turbo (still an 88mm) but has a pretty restrictive turbine wheel. I'd imagine that they would perform pretty close to each other

Bingo.....they would be very similar in power indeed. The S88 has already made 1100+rwhp on a 370ci LSX engine, and the GT47's I'm sure can get close as well.

Friend had a monthly race come up and so I lent the computer since I was travelling like crazy for work.

Tom, heck I'm hitting 16 psi on pump gas on the street, I'm gonna start at 20 for like one pass and then bump it up.

Still the GT47-88 but I have a 106 here now too.

I'm long overdue with respect to running the Formula as is, so that will happen first. If/when I sell the GT47-88 I will send it off to PTE and have it inspected.

Kyle you are doing a 106mm right? I was thinking I'd mount mine top side like Alfred's car where the battery used to be.

Yeah PTE 106.... A2W IC, BS3, Solid Roller, MAD MAN Suspension, and a Radial still.
