shakedown pulls tonight

did some quick shakedowns tonight, tires rubbing really badly front and back (front only when turning) and rear only on the outside, so i am gunna get these fenders rolled and pulled to clear, because i want to fit these 28s for best mph with my 355 gears, built in boost control in MS3 is flat out retardedly awesome, i told it what boost i wanted, and it was able to deliver easily, climbs to target and holds, didnt even get to mess with the sensitivity settings but i could make it target faster, made 2 dyno pulls, tires were rubbing so bad it made me nervous so i quit before i blew one of them off the car at 140 lol, car made 509whp on 13psi 10.40 AFR and 554whp on 14psi, hp still climbing great when i lifted nervously at 6400 haha it seems like its making around 40whp per psi right now, wich would be awesome to stay on track for 700 tire wich is my goal, im sure tire rub is eating a little power too, but successful trip! some things to address but i drove to the dyno and slammed down 500+ twice and came home without an issue! video is coming

getting there! fairmont driving video updates

this is yesterdays video from the car, 10-12psi and rough tune

and here is today at 14psi
doing pretty good!
gotta make my shifts sooner, its laying over power wise at 6000 it feels like, and looks like

valvesprings and pressing on

installed the 50 dollar valve springs today to see how they do in comparison to the pac1218s wich are 140 ish... they seem good so far, i raised my boost to 10lbs without a problem right now, just crushed in some more wastegate spring for the car to see how it will do should be 14lbs of boost on the wastegate right now after this, probably going to add the methanol kit to the car tomorrow and continue pushing, also i think we are going to race the firebird tomorrow

Boost controller for the truck

Arrived today. Always an easy install

valentines day gift for the truck 12psi

so its been doing really well, time to up the boost, since it makes 4psi you can assume connecting top and bottom will make 2x the boost 8 psi, and disconnecting the wastegate entirely will make 12psi.

so i totally disconnected the WG and it makes 12psi!

it also frys the tires from a 2nd gear roll.

driving around big don's turbo 6.0 junkyard special

had big don's turbo junkyard turbo and motor trans am out today

testing the sunbird trans brake

hopefully racing saturday if the weather is nice

methanol installed, and boost controller for the 4.8 notch

installed a methanol kit today and the ebay boost controller with great sucess, the boost controller definately brought down the spool time by being a ball and spring and blocking reference for a few psi, and the meth kit held the car together when we learned we were out of fuel pump at 20+lbs of boost... LOL

it has a walboro 340lph stealth in the tank and well i can guarantee we are over 600rwhp because its smoking these 28x10.5 slicks from a 70 roll like they are shit.

15* 21lbs of boost, woot woot.

adding the 044 from the ventura tomorrow to see if we can remedy that then buying another 044 for the ventura... hopefully racing this 4.8 beast sunday.
