Are you doing anything "special" to get to 22 psi? What's the timing in the chip? I can't get anywhere near 22 psi. I think 22 psi is "normally" alky or race gas territory. I agree about his chips. They do rock, indeed.

Chip is a 20 degree timing and drops back to 18 degrees in 3rd gear. I am not doing anything special at all, just a 100k+ mile short block with alot of bolt ons. The DS file only showed 2 small amounts of timing retard .. first was hazing the tires in second gear and the other was from chirping the tires on the shift to 3rd gear. neither time did the timing retard exceed 2.5 degrees. The engine was leaning out towards the end of the 1/4 mile run, EGT reached 1600 degrees, but this engine seems to like it a little lean on the top end.

Here is the list of bolt ons the car has on it

Champion heads cnc series
ported stock intake w/ egr filled
roll master timing set
T63e turbo w/ garrett exhaust housing
ATR 3 inch DP w/ external waste gate
ATR single shot exhaust system
340 pump hot wired
Eastern Performance front mount IC
Delphi 85# injectors
precision industries 3000 stall 5 disc l/u converter
F body aluminum radiator
Short block has 100k+ miles on it. Still has the stock cam in also.

Nice combo!

Nice combo! What kind of ET's are you running with it? I suspect I can't get near 22 psi because I'm on a stock turbo with an unported, stock intercooler and unported, stock heads. Trying to shove 10# of &%$* in a 5# bag. I think I may still have 20 deg of timing in third, I need to check.

Don't have a time slip for it yet ... Between work, the ol' lady, and breaking trannys; I just can't seem to find time to get to a legit track, but hopefully soon.

If it's running good.......

they might kick you out for not having a bar anyhow. I would think you would be well into the 11's at 22 PSI with that turbo.

If I can get the car to run in the low 12's with a street tuned chip I will be extremely happy.

next friday It'll be on the car trailer headed to my new to me house ...bet it'll go faster than you can in 1st gear then

Finally convinced Marc in v.b to order a chip from Eric too ... maybe his 10 sec car can get better than a high 11 once he gets his chip
