This is good stuff......his numbers are entirely possible......barring the conflicts.
I've seen Porsche 3.6's (and now 3.8s) at 600rwhp on 91 octane. The camaro V6 is a DOHC 4V motor with characteristics similar to the Porsche. Just imagine that camaro V6 with forged pistons, high lift cams, turbo"ed" and screaming down the track at 8000 rpms..........neeeeeeeeeooooooow! Would make a great club racer. And those V6s are cheap! Almost disposable....... Can the trans hold that kind of power? |

So far the only failure was a A6 that aready was bad (burnt fluid, GM OEM converter was failing). Other than that both manual and auto's are doing well...even w/stall converter. But they will be a weak link.
The clutch on the other hand will fail. Good thing is there are after market units and Chris should post up his solution soon I expect. |

I'm glad I read the whole thread. I'll wait until the tach reading issue is resolved.
I don't believe its making 87% more torque from a single turbo. I agree its probably making at most 420 rwtq which is 53% more, tops. That will still be a tremendous success!! Even lower than that is still great. Someone asked a good question. Did you run a baseline dyno? Was there any rpm issues then? |

To my knowledge, Chris did not do a baseline dyno.

I had 5,000 miles before and I'm at 16,484 now. Not bad for a almost 2 year old car.

Any way you look at it the HPS turbo is a success IMHO.
