Its not for sale. If someone will give what i want then its gone and ill find something else. If not ill keep it and continue to pay $91 a month and wait for a company truck to hit it so i can collect insurance off of it. Might trade for something of more value though. lol

Heh, you kids and your street races. It's too bad we don't have a place where we can go weekly to race for about $20. It would be great to be able to actually have a light and know actual times. Someone should build a track.
Roll racing is queer **** by the way.

EXACTLY! Wait til they get that big *** ticket and lose their ride when they get busted. Street race enough and you will get nailed. Damn Hilton, we're getting old
Plus the track is safer just incase something does happen. KNOCK ON WOOD!!!!

Measuring boost is a funny thing. Seven pounds of pressure through a drinking straw isn't the same as seven pounds of pressure through a fire hose. Pressure is the same, volume is a different.
The Volvo had a small turbo on it running, coincidentally, 7 pounds of boost stock. I swapped in a bigger turbo and still ran 7 pounds boost. More power everywhere. Then I got computer tuning to 12 pounds. Car ran great! I thought I'd raise the pressure to 15 pounds. The increase in pressure from 12 psi to 15 psi actually cost me horsepower. Why? The air charge was so hot that the power benefit from the increase in psi was negated by the increase in the charge temperature.
Oh yeah, then I cracked the block and had to swap in another engine.
Figure 80% increase in power for every atmosphere. (1 ATM = 14.7ish psi)
Figure 300 HP stock LS1 (engine wasn't mentioned. We could be talking 7 liter)
Even with these made up numbers, really it's impossible to know without knowing supporting mods. Intercooler? Injectors? Tuning? Meth injection?
I'd guess he picked up ~120 horsepower.
Here's a super fun link.

Are you Dale's friend who was going to buy Galen's GTO exhaust, had him drive from Biloxi to Monroe to pick it up, then borrow his father's truck to bring it to Shreveport, then when he got here you no longer wanted it? Hope not.
