Turbo Civic vs 05 Mustang GT and 03 Cobra Finally got a chance to run my best friends car out in Mexico tonight. Other friend just bought the cobra and was eager as well. Had a few runs with a 570whp lightning but no real clean runs. It was close but I think I got him by a car or so.
Basically me and the GT are dead nuts with me at 20psi (~440-450whp?). Im spinning 3rd gear everytime with my dinky 22" BFG radials. After I burn them off I will be upgrading to 24" ET streets which should allow me to use the cars full potential in 3rd.
PS, Movie maker for 7 sucks ***.

93 always lol
Not much different other then its make a bunch more power at the same boost and it picks up quicker between shifts which is really nice. 
Just needs tires so I can actually use the 500whp...

LT, just a thought, it looks like the turbine inlet is about 1" bigger than your intake pipe. At your airflow levels, that might be costing you a bit of power.
I've seen a 35R DSM gain 40whp by switching from a 3" to a 4" intake at the same psi.
Not criticizing, but it could be a restriction at the flow levels this new turbo is capable of.

At the big meets we went to last night, no one really except for the people who kinda knew hondas second looked it because its so stock looking, but I like it like that. The cam and the intercooler give it away.
