Yeah, right!

But seriously, Im glad it all finally worked out for you Tom and Great Numbers- Gotta love turbos!! So besides Jon's inquiry to Whats next, I think the real question is are you happy enough that If you had the chance to do all over again would you?
Yes... very happy. I would definitely do it all over again. One of the reasons I went turbo is because everybody and their brother has a supercharger at car shows. Very few (if any) have turbochargers. I wanted to be different.

And I seriously have to turn down the boost. There is practically no turbo lag now and the car is just way too fast. I'll leave from a light at only part-throttle and mere seconds later I'm looking in my rear view mirror at cars barely beginning to move.

Thanks! 475.2 at the rear wheels. I'm using the standard 15% drivetrain loss for a manual since I still have the 2-piece driveshaft, stock pullies, etc.

475.2 / .85 = 560

Gary Loat... the same guy that has done several of our radiator cover tags to replace the sticker.

I had to ask JR for permission to use the Granatelli logo... he gave it to me, which will be a good advertisement for him at car shows!

Thanks! I'm glad somebody actually used the album link to check out the car.

Boost has been dropped to about 7psi after playing around with the boost controller. After talking to the tuner, no changes need to be made to the tune... whether I run 6 or 10 psi, or anywhere in between...

I think we need some controversy in here to get a new thread going again.

Turbochargers are better than superchargers.

Your new tag no longer applies, have to add the words 'capable of..'.
