my car will be taking a break for a week or two. I am going to have to move my radiator and IC forward about 5-6 inches.


thanks for the compliments everyone. I assumed with the difference in setups that the power levels would be similar with 10 vs 15lbs. but apparently not.

441 to 408
TF 235 to stock 317's
sheet metal intake to carb style intake

and yes he still has bald 345's and I was on bald 315's so that's irrelevant.

Nice runs tinkrd.

Too bad the videos weren't a little better but oh well. Make due with what you have at the moment, although they came out really good for being taken on a phone.

JP's car spools way faster then mine. i dont hit full boost till 6000 RPM or so and it starts building boost around 3500-4000 RPM. i was on 10lbs making around 720'ish rwhp. im changing my turbo set up so i can spool way faster. Precision says it should have full boost around 4000-4500 RPM.

You have to get a good chase car to video this damn race.. We don't want to guess who won this race like the last few.

So someone put a GoPro on the front and back of JP's car so we can have a good video.
