Oh lord. Yeah, it happens when somebody wants a ride in my car. When us old farts get the need for speed, watch out, we will show you something. I wish I had a dollar for every time
someone told me I was crazy.

Good info. I haven't had time to tune my car in. This will give you some ideas of why a Standalone is so important. So I can make informed decision with quality data.

Spooler

Good information. You can learn something.

I should say sorry to my wife. The older we get the more expensive our toys are. LOL We never ever grow up.

Put 12 gallons of fuel in my car and let it run for a bit. Battery tracker had it down to 13.1 volts. I couldn't go for a ride. All the rain has my road a mess. I will have to wait until it dries out. Been too busy to drive the car for the last 4 weeks.

Went for a drive today. The car is just stupid fun. I need to add more boost in 2nd and 3rd. Getting there. Traction mods are working like a champ. Noop, nobody else has them. I am still on my R888r's. No need to switch over the drag radials yet.

I talked to Pete at PRI. Specifically about getting a profiler on my car

That's really great to hear!

Yeah, I did the upper rear control arm relocate to. We moved it up. I have two holes to pick from. It was in the video. That and I had the rear diff tuned so it won't one wheel peal anymore. Car is fast and I am only on R888r's. If it spins it goes straight. That's very important as you found out.

I am really laughing at all the people that go straight to a drag pack on the back with only 600 to 700whp. Learning how to drive is important especially on our short wheelbase cars.

If anyone wants a modified Subframe like mine just call up MA-Motorsports. They have a jig for it and can do the mods no problem.

While I am at it. People need to start installing larger turbos and dump the tiny ones they use today. Our engines move a ton of air. With my 1mm larger valves and ported/polished heads the little .82ar exhaust housing had to go. I installed 1.06ar exhaust housing and the engine ate them up and loves them. A pair of G35's or similar Xonarotor's would be much better. Folks need to understand that you will have reliability issues such as headgasket failures and excessive rod bearing wear. Excessive TQ too low in the rpm range will cause nothing but trouble. Who cares about lag, just drop a gear. Besides when you are driving the crap out of it you are never below 5000rpms anyway.

The only thing on my Fast Intentions twin turbo kit that has not been modified are the exhaust manifolds and the 3in downpipes. The rest of the kit is custom and it was not cheap to have upgraded. I tried my best to get them to make a kit designed for 1000whp.

Spooler

Well I'll be.

Let me throw some numbers out here that way you will know if your turbo kit is efficient.
I am going to use 10:1 compression ratio. Your numbers will go up or down depending on the compression ratio you have. 9:1= lower whp at 17psi of boost. 11:1 = higher whp at 17psi of boost.

If you are not hitting somewhere close to these numbers you have an issue that needs to be addressed. So, stop turning up the boost to try and make it hit the whp numbers you want or you may hurt your engine.

17psi of boost, 10:1 compression ratio on pump E85
720whp

17psi of boost, 10:1 compression ratio on Ignite Red with 1/2 deg more timing.
770whp
