thanx for the thumbs up on the intercooler setup... and how does it run... like a muthafuker... the converter is a little to tight, so we are installing a 3000 rpm stall unit to get some better 60 foot times (they are in the 1.6 range now.. prety good with an IRS).. but from 2500 rpm on the highway it will just pull like a stink..
the previous setup with procharger seemed to need some rpmīs and would run out of steam.. but thsone just pulls like a diesel from hell and keeps going

amen... also at moderate boost levels, they do a better job of retaining heat in the exhaust gas so it will deliver be at boost early, also they arent as prone to cracking as tubular headers are (so im told) also they are about 75% less expensive...

100% tru! Awsome work.That thing must be light weight and with that engine
actually its almost 2900 lbs, but thats with jaguar IRS, 700R4 tranny, leather interior, stereo and so on... but a cam and head lt4 with 18 pounds of intercooled boost and 98 octane does get things mooving especially on drag radials and a 3.55 rear gear and a 700r4 low 1īst..
im uploading a vid ill post soon

here is a vid.. not very good, but its a video no less
its the turbo 31 roadster in the far lane... the one nearest to the camera is a vortech blown 32 roadster.. both were in the low 11´s on an unprepaired track, leaving the line from idle.. (the 32 went on to run 10.01 on boost and spray later btw)
but i still think low 11´s si prety good for a first day out, no tuning, no testing, no burnout or trackbite...
