it wont hook for **** on the street making any sort of decent power, my 04 weighs about 3100lbs and blows off 10" wide et streets at anything under 55mph, thats with my boost turned down around the 475whp area, first gear is un useable on the street

that was with just a turbo kit and an st5 cam on a stock l26 it made 522whp before it ran out of fuel pump on e85, its now an l67 8.3:1 comp, st3.5 zzp heads, st5 cam set up to spin 6800rpm, dual 320lph fuel pumps, it should be in the 650-700whp range this summer im waiting to get my trans back from a refresh, i had it together and running but i mistakenly knocked the clutches off the 4th gear hub when i installed the channel plate and didnt know so the trans came back out, and as far as weight, there is pretty much nothing on the car the only thing that runs off the belt is the alternator, there is alot of weight taken out id like to spring for a race seat but i doubt that will happen

this is with the boost turned down to 15 lbs it made 522 at 17.5lbs every pound of boost is worth in the ball park of 25whp at that boost range on the turbo set up i have, this little pull was done with my 9" wide mustang rims with 275/40/17 nitto DR's they are every bit of 10" wide i now run et streets, you can see the spin from 45-65 on the spedo as well as hear it in the back ground

There would be nothing even close to the same between a 70mm turbo and what looks to be a 48 trim t3/t4

that is with a glass pack and a turn down under the center council thats my street exhaust set up
