You're on pump gas and conservative timing tho. And we still dont' even know what EXACT turbo and specs you actually have.

*edit: even if you have a legit 2871 and not 2860, a 48 trim (small) compressor would put your numbers right around where they should be

And my trubo is not coming out anytime soon to find out.

Oh's wells. Carry on.

Your 200 kpa numbers are right where they should be, if you want more power you need to rev it higher or turn the boost up and have enough octane that it will make it to MBT.

Octane is probably cheaper than the hardware to make another 1000 rpm useful.

e85 would make all his dreams come true

aidandj Jul 1, 2016 02:48 PM

Torque was just dropping off with higher revs. Power was almost flattening out.

We only have one e85 station in the entire city. Cool for a dyno queen, or track+trailer only car. But thats it.

VICS manifold, right? Squaretop would make a big difference at those power levels.

aidandj Jul 1, 2016 04:59 PM

Yes. We played with VICS and gained a few HP. I have dyno runs from that too.

Well, I don't have any events planned til next month. I have a squaretop sitting in my garage. :party:

I would guess it to be worth 20-30whp on top.
