Is it smart???

I can leave the line at just about any boost level. I footbrake my car and it has 4 wheel drums w/o a line lock. It has left the line as high as 23psi and works well at around 10psi. Traction is a bit of an issue with 26x8.5x14 slicks. But still puts down 1.50's 60'. Like any car, you need to get used to it. When I have good air and not chasing down a record time it is pretty consistent. Both of our turbo cars will run within a few hundredths.

Alot of people run to big of a turbo or a chassis that can't handle the power. U-tube is full of them 10 second lag times. Kinda silly but when the power comes on...ufdaa!!! Trick is finding the right turbo combo and fine tuning it. We have all the hot rod engine combos - BB - SB - V10 - Viper - 4cyl turbo - V8 Turbo...but the most fun is hauling off on a BB Chevy with a Slant 6. I found my way to skin this cat. Later

BOY, YOU SURE DID!!!

Talk about bang for the buck.... You and Tom make me ashamed of myself for what we spent on our motor. I haven't kept track, but other than the turbo, itself, the wastegate and intercooler, we bought everything NEW (well, we did buy a ported head with big valves off ebay.)

Even at that, I really don't think we could have built a normally-aspirated small block with the performance capabilities of this motor for any less.

I know it was a lot of work to list everything, and tell what it cost, but Tom and you gave me exactly the information I wanted, and I REALLY appreciate it!!!

Here's wishing both of you a fast and successful 2011. MOPAR to ya...
