Thanks guys for the support. I felt terrible last year hyping up the Turbo Project and then BOOM! There goes the spindly stock rod. The motor has been rebuilt with stronger internals to withstand up to 25psi. (no, i will not attempt to go up that high)
It is pioneers like Eric, Tony, Joe, and Gabe that inspired me to push this grocery getter to the fullest. If it wasn't for them this all wouldn't be possible. I had planned to go to MIR to run the car today but have VIPs from out of town visiting.
Traction: I now have to keep both hands on the wheel to keep it undercontrol. The power is just too much for me to handle right now.
I will use drag radials at the track from now on and a Kaaz LSD had been installed two years ago.
Dyno numbers: I was just making a comparison between my old s/c setup and the current turbo setup.
Special thanks to Arrieta Motorsport for building the motor, Stoid Racing for the beefed up internals, and HP Works for the tuning.
