I know this thread is getting old, but how much boost was the car running at the time?

Peak boost was 40 psi.

I seen this car in person 2 years ago at the Dsm shootOut in nj englishtown. I Couldn't beleve how clean the car was and sick the engine bay was, nd now 2 years later your back with the same car setting records. That's dedication man, props.. Dsm for the win!!

Mike,
What turbo were you using? Sorry I forgot.

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Awesome results from that old motor. This is how dsm legends are made.

Ron this was done with a FP T4Z88HTA turbo. And your manifold of course.

I'm interested in pushing the stock block. How would you do with a 67mm turbo as far as, "how much power you'll be willing to make"? Also how much boost would you attempt to run? Most I have spoke with say 450 ft pounds is the most you can make and be reliable on a stock block. I put ARP hardware( main, rod, and head studs) to add some reliability. I'm just looking to see what you think? I have a precision unit with a t-3 foot print. I'm willing to be generous with the boost level. My goal is to make power. I just don't want to blow it up.

Not exactly sure of your question. I am running a 67mm turbo currently. The car hasn't been on a dyno with the current set-up, but taking into consideration the weight and trap speed, I am fairly confident it is making 600+ WHP ( last time on a dyno it made 596 WHP, trapping mid 130's ). Torque was low 400's.

My car only has head studs, the rest is OEM. Obviously every engine is different but I see no reason why you can't make 500 WHP reliably with stock internals. As for boost, every set up is going to be different. I think my turbo is capable of more but I did not want to push the block any more. But I would start off with low boost and carefully watch your logs / tune as you turn it up. I have been running 35 psi for the last 3 seasons.

Man you need to get a more up to date turbo!

No complaints on the turbo but I am working with FP on a possible replacement.
