That's great! What do you mean when you say you never got into boost? Does that mean the wastegates, or blow off valves or...... are those open or something? Sucks your so close and have to leave on another "hitch". Seems to be in excellent hands though! Congrats!

Another clutch convert is born.
 I know everyone wants to save money on the clutch, and the Slayer unit from Thomas is expensive but it's worth EVERY penny in a supercharged car.

As an example... To go fast, with any car... you have to open the throttle blades to allow more air in the motor... by limiting the throttle position to calm easy driving, I never create enough exhaust pressure/velocity, to spin the turbos fast enough to create boost... I can out run most cars without ever getting into boost, and when I hammer on it... well.... there are a few fast cars that can outrun a forced induction car, but most of them also have forced induction in one form or another...

Well alright R !!!
A little pre-boost Brandi action. Upgrading the drivetrain is well worth it and is a necessity. Once all together and tuned you will have so much fun with a set of sticky tires. Everything will be a blur. Nice.

Dude! That is AWESOME!
I'm VERY glad to hear it's finally coming together, man. I know all the problems you had with the previous tranny and clutch. I sure hope this is IT for you. VERY cool! |

Corey has a plan for while I'm gone and will be getting some stuff done... He's made/making a list of stuff we need for the nitrous set-up... He going to have Allan finish the boost controller hardware/wiring install... Tune for the bigger turbos... And then put some miles and heat cycles on the trans and diff, and then see what he can do with boost and fuel... C-16...117 octane race fuel... When I get back we'll finish the nitrous install and see what we see... My prediction... ... Race fuel and nitrous ( Probably a 150 wet shot ) Hmmm... Taking guesses here... Feel free to post up... Anybody....A prize... Not yet determined to the winner... Closest without going over... Just to make sure there is some interest... Last year I gave away a Henderson Performance Technology T-shirt and offered up a 5th of Crown Royal...so feel free to post up your best guess...
