Default raced a supercharged 5.0

It was a nice car with fat tires and skinnies. Cowl induction hood and definate supercharger whine. We went from a 40mph roll and I spun really bad so we were side by side. (damn street tires) I caught traction and pulled a car. We went through third and he was hanging 1 car back. I couldnt tell if I was pulling or not because of a bad angle. Anyway we let off at around 90mph. I talked to him and he said he ran an 11.90. It was a nice car and pretty quick. Now I want my new downpipe (current one in one spot is about 1inch diameter and see if I can do a little better

Man that thing is seriously corked up if you are only running a 1 inch downpipe.

I wonder how hot your turbo gets with that kind of back pressure from a 1 inch pipe? Get that changed and good kill.

Umm, do ya think?

Fix that **** and race him again, just pray that he hasn't raised the boost as well.

Good Kill!

I can still raise the boost a tad on my car too

Believe me I am trying to get a new downpipe but its becoming near impossible to get one. No local shops can do it. Stainless is the only place that says they can but I have to pull of my exhaust manifold and turbo and ship it to them and my car will be down for probably at least a month.

Is the cutout right at the end of the dp? I know that I gained right at 50hp with it there. What turbo are you running?
