To make a long story short I just got back my 1990 GSX and all the performance goodies are long gone. So now I'm starting over with a bone stock GSX with Red Top motor. I'm boosting 15 psi and need to change out the O2 sensor and starter.
So while I'm trying to put together the kinda money needed to get this car back into the 11's I'm starting my lists. Everyone who's been around DSM's as long as me knows what I mean by "The Lists." The list of goals for the car, the list of what's needed for the car, and the list of what everything will cost to meet the over all goal.
My overall goal is mid 11's and like everyone else I'm on a budget. So I'm thinking of using a 2nd Gen MAS with a DSM Link. I figure running a hybrid turbo on the stock exhaust manifold with the supporting 3 inch mods would be good, along with a decent front mount. I'm also planning to run a 50 shot wet kit. I know the stock motor will handle this level of power since I did it before without any problems. So until the bottom end taps out, I'll be running stock short block.
The turbo selection is so big It's hard to pick which one I would want over the others. It needs to get me the top end power I need for 11's but of course I don't want to wait till 5000 RPM's before the boost hits.
The turbo I used last time was a EVO 3 16G ported. But I also had the help of a 120 shot of the good stuff boosting 26 PSI on race gas. This time I want more muscle when I use pump gas off the bottle.
Tell me what you guys think, and educate a long time DSM guy on what these new turbo's are doing for you.
