you want to make it longer and with more boost you really need to look into a boost gauge and a air fuel mix gauge because if you start running lean you are going to F some stuff up what temp thermostat are you running in it to do you have a stock down pipe for the turbo because the stock down pipe is very restrictive if it is stock i would upgrade it to 2.5 or 3 inch but the 3 is a squeeze to fit and good luck finding someone who will make one to.also stock head gasket will only survive 22 lbs of boost.
Thanks, William

It has a shift kit exhaust carb heads and its built brand new. It has a cam that's double the factory cam it's about 300 lbs lighter now. It has no more rev limiter of 4500 it revs to 6000 now it's running 2 more pounds of boost and it has a bigger charging system that allows more current though ignition system. ..... This wa his explanation as to why he will destroy me now . He is also go against a bolt on ls1 6 speed z28

Also these cars use stock heads and exhaust manifolds because nobody makes anything for them lol . With that shitty intake design aside from the turbo and the bad flowing heads a stock ported and polished head can go only so far also those stories you hear of these cars running below 14's and even 11's they ditch the carb and use efi rip alot more then 300lbs out and put crazy drag gears in like 4.56's as turbo boy my challenger has mentioned to me before he has 3.08 and a carb it's nothing crazy lol the major thing he has going is that cam . Which I don't see adding anything over 40hp at best because its a small cam just unfortunate his block can't fit bigger lol but!!!! I'm not claiming to win I have not said this . When the day comes the best car will decide the winner and untill then it's all guesses

I agree. I have the same mods as this guy running a 14.8 plus the cam and weight reduction http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bUsqf28e6pQ&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DbUs qf28e6pQ
And I also have many other mods like carb and timing. The only reason the lt1 would win is if he shifts into 4th gear which I do not have. And plus I do have a 455 in the process of being built but I plan on using the worked 301 turbo in my s10 and having a street monster and using a turbo setup with an intake adaptor on the 455. At least I'm still keeping the Pontiac heritage unlike the guys swapping in sbcs because there cheap and don't understand pontiacs

Lol the two posting are friends of mine. The race will happen they live in the same town. I haven't seen the turbo t/a since the cam swap, but I can assure you guys it's not running lean, if anything it's rich. And the OP won't be doing anything for a few weeks, until his new title shows up. But if and when they race, I'll be there to film it!

by the way this is the 11 sec car stock turbo,heads,rockers, 3600lbs same weight as my car and i think he has 3.73s right now but he is putting the car back together for racing season he also has stock bottom end and a stock cam only real mod he is aloud to do is header and the gearing of the car they don't make header for turbo 301s either. i want to try an fab a set though
Considering this car was produced during the gas "crisis" scare it was pretty good for performance until the 225hp 5.0 annihilated everything from that era.
Having or not having a title doesn't mean you can or cant race. if your caught racing then the punishment will be a little worse yea but if you do it at the drag strip then youll be fine so stop arguing and go to a drag strip and post a video.
