The car was running 10's at 15 psi. At 22, it would have seen a 9. If I was making a track car, I would have kept it. My goal from the beginning was a full weight DD capable of a 9 sec pass. I was not able to achive those goals on a turbo. The 9 sec part was easy, the DD part was near impossible for me. I still like the turbo for the track but for a street car, I don't like turbos over the 12 psi range and ran inito serious driveability and heating issues.
I am going KB very soon. :twisted:
(and mine will be at 24 psi...lol)
+1...that was bad.NCBLACK has already used the "top secret" throttle body and intake. He got like 75hp out of the swap. He also had his TB sieze up on the first street drive and had to retro a BBK onto it. Hope you have better luck.
