Ran over fifteen 11 second passes.

Yes the turbo can produce over 25 psi of boost. I was on my pump gas tune.
Didn't want to stress the transmission too much but the lack of flare tells me it could take more, at least temporarily.

well done!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't leave the track I had so many people come and say how impressive it was. Everyone was freaking out about how fast it was and how quiet it was down the track.
They all say, all we heard is whoosh and you were gone. Lots of comment about how it went like stink and how much of a sleeper it was.
Was probably my most fun day at the track ever. Lots of nice car comments, surprising for an old car that is not a very good condition. I guess when it's fast who cares how nice it looks...

Tried to leave but people came by asking questions, it took 4 hours by the time I start packing to leave and the time I actually leave.

I agree, that car was MUCH faster than it was shown in that video. Nonetheless something was off with his tune at the top of the 1/4 mile. He was losing a lot of MPH.
But he had 96 mph in the 1/8 mile which is good. He ran 12.0 during the day.

i do like how your car looks like a bullet being shot out of the barrel off the line. this second gear off the line deal,,,well you may be onto something lol

Maybe? for sure. I am actually trying to figure out what I can do to put my other transmission in the same mode. Probably disable the 1-2 shift solenoid.
What's not to like... no lost time in the 1-2 shift. Less stress on the trans during that shift. Easier not to blow the slicks, especially in my case with those tiny slicks.
Easier burnout with no shift as well. It shifts smoother and quicker than the trans ever did with the PCM control.

That's exactly what I need in the twin engine. But man it will be hard to shift both at the same time. Right now I have to shift the trans won't do it on it's own.
It's awesome, truly a Poor man's powerglide.

I guess some people need hard proof. I don't think they were exactly haters, I would say more Doubters.

The no bullsh1t responses to questions from all the doubters including myself is whats most impressive and respectable, sure cuts out the drama doesnt it?

To bad not everyone can say the same......

Stock injectors should be able to hit 340-360whp on a turbo setup.
