Sorry Mike, something aint kosher there. 11.80 w/1.70 60 aint much more than 425 or so HP. You shouldnt be CLOSE to maxing out 50's. Should at LEAST be in the 20's or so at closer to 120 or so to be making the power to need more. What are your PE numbers if doing your own chips? Is your FP rising like it should AND staying high? (Ruling out a volume problem)

At that power level, I wouldnt expect to be over 90% let alone almost 110%

But thats just my useless opinion....

Woody was running about 10.8 with 55s with that turbo on a regal.

What fuel pump are you running? Is it getting full voltage?

You can't calculate hp with ET - it never works. Using this calc http://www.speedworldmotorplex.com/calc.htm he is making 550ish hp @ the flywheel and 470ish @ the wheels. Even these are screwed due to the torque these cars make. I'd say the duty cycle on his DS doesn't lie.

Not to mention it wasn't a clean pass. I was on and off the throttle because of the popping and a little wheel spin on the launch as well. The car is clearly past the realm of 50# injectors in combination of this turbo. The TA-49 was fine as it wouldn't flow enough air (exhaust wheel too small) to unmask the problem.
