just purchased this car, from stop 4 seconds before full boost, midrange punch pulls hard
fresh motor
218/218 cam
stretch ic (stock location)
45 ta turbo (i know nothing about this turbo) its not a big turbo 60mm
3000 stall 9in art car (braking the tires turn over at 3100 rpm on sc
atr headers (no leaks)
3in dp
super flowing exhaust
810 wot on sc

i dont get what the problem is?

1. o2's mean nothing (imo) tune for no knock.. not o2s
2. what exactaly is "super flowing exhaust? flowmasters? if so.. trash them they're crap.
3. i actualy think a 45a is close to a 60mm
4. you have no where enough stall for that converter. i beleave it calls for at least a 3600. i'm sure steve wood will chime in i think he runs one.


why would you trash the turbo?

never heard of a 45ta

none of the 45s are 60mm


te 45 is a 63mm wheel good for mid 10s

te 45a is a 66mm wheel good to low low 10s

3000 stall is about 400 too tight for most with that turbo

oh and breaking tires loose while footbraking is not how to find stall for a converter , better brakes may hold more poor brakes less so its not an indicator of stall

stall is rated at 0psi

what was the boost at when you saw 3100

218/218 cam , does this cam have a set of ported heads to work with it or a built bottom end to handle the rpms youll need to turn to get into the cams powerband
