Since I’m only running 8-9lbs, and can’t do any more than 12 anyway, there was no reason to go with a larger turbo. I’m not even really leaning on the 55’s and there is virtually no lag. 55’s on an engine that’s 12:1 is a very streetable combo.
They are precision 55’s running around 8.5lbs. It’s a Hellion kit and I upgraded my OPG’s before install. Hellion has a new kit that puts the turbos under the car as well. Looks a little more sleeper.
I make 900ish and can put it all down on a MT ET Street drag radial in 325/35 18. When not on those I'm on an NT05 in 335/30 19 and do really well once they are warm. And by really well I mean I can do a full pull in 3rd at a slightly lower power level. (800ish)
My block is still stock, makes 820tq. Wasn’t trying to break records or anything, that’s just where we ended up after tuning on E85. Was actually hoping to find others making more so I don’t have to be so nervous every time I put my foot down.
Beautiful build! These things are monsters when tuned correctly. I haven’t seen anyone else hit more than your previous 1056 in Tony’s car, so it seems you hold the stock bottom end record. Still looking for someone making more than 800tq though. ;)
I bought mine in Ga and then drove it back to denver. The car was much snappier at sea level, no doubt. Will it lose power? Yes. Will it still be fun to drive? Yes. If you’re worried about how it will stack up against other cars, just remember they lose as much as you do.
Can’t say much...
