He's gonna upgrade the turbo for big power and top-end. He just put a 50-psi boost gauge in the car...sort of a good hint.

But I'd like to run the MINIVET

I need to put a stiffer spring in the gate and/or turn up the boost controller to hold 12psi throughout the gears... I know this car has a 145-147 trap in it if I fixed that alone.
General rule of thumb is to run the wastegate spring at half of what you plan to run boost wise.

lol, the lakers thought the same thing before they played okc. thats why we race, and not rely on what science or history says should win the contest. that applies for racing, sports, and any other thing where the human factor is involved. i cant speak for dallas cause i just got here, but in houston (domonic toretto voice) its not always the "faster car" that wins the race bro. i've opened my wallet to a slower car and had cars a lot faster than me put money back in it. "so and so car would beat so and so car so there's no point to race" dont fly down there. it may be understood, but never said, cause once its said, you gotta back it up. you gotta give the other man the honor of a straight up race. if he doesn'twant to act on the 95% chance he'll lose to the minvette, that's his call, but in the situation above, you (the minivette) gotta give him that courtesy.

Stacio car will be nasty..if I get back Don to sar before he upgrades we will run..if he has finished I am screwed...a buddy should have his evo back soon. It should make close to.800whp...it used to be 650whp...

I'll re-race the trailblazer for fun as he's my neighbor but other than that what's the point?
The truck is QUICK (super quick) from a stop, but from a highway roll gets slaughtered... It's not fast.

Edit: I just found out it was on 700rwhp that night. My bad. 800 is race gas, 700 pump...
It should still trap a solid 125 but he was barely slower than my friends 2012 mustang 5.0 with bolt ons & tune (114 trap) from a 60 roll...

Since the 3 bar map sensor and my 650+rwhp, I haven't lost yet and I've raced over six 700+whp cars.
I want a crack at this challenge!
