    [SOLD] Small block torqstorm kit

    Hello all, I'm looking to offload my torqstorm supercharger kit. This is a base kit, means it does NOT come with a carburetor. I ran this supercharger for one season. Then decided I want more oomph and went to a turbo setup. I do not have the original spacers that came with the kit for the...

    Yea... tried that. First they forgot to build the converter after giving them information and payment info. Then I gave them another chance after wasting a couple weeks of my time. At least the second time they called me the next day and said they couldn't get parts for the converter they wanted...

    Yea. Already using the thicker hygard. Not sure the trans is actually having problems or if it's just the converter. But so far it's working with low boost. Unfortunately I have bigger fish to fry. I thought I heard and saw something weird with the car, so I packed it up. Started it up the...

    Track Finally opened back up. 7,094ft DA - 7.14psi - 255/60/15 MT ET STreet R - added a 2step to build boost on the footbrake made about 2.5psi at launch. Car still leaning out on the top end - need to add more fuel. BUT - the converter seemed to be ok at the lower boost level. I might be able...

    Goodbye Torqstorm, hello Spoolius Ceasar

    Added a 2 step so I could leave on some boost. Definitely helped. Although I still need to add some more fuel for the back half. Starts to break up. Car 660 7,094ft DA - 7.14psi max -top of the track this run was about .81-.82 lambda just starting to break up. As the night got cooler the...

    single turbo thread for an A Body

    I had a supercharger. Torqstorm worked well, but I wanted more. So I went turbo. Magnum headers flipped, some cutting and welding. Wasn't really that hard. Ultimately the car is easier to drive and honestly makes more power with the same amount of boost. Plus.. you don't see turbo a bodies...

    Nope. Got held up when they forgot to build my order... then called back and said they couldn't get the parts for a 904. Coincidentally, I found my trans was a bit low on fluid. Added about 1/2 a quart and it started to couple. Got it to trap 131.66 at only 7psi. But then we had some weather...

    Goodbye Torqstorm, hello Spoolius Ceasar

    Nah it's only 10.42:1. It had leaned out with the blower and melted things that aren't supposed to melt Lol Everytime.i pick up fuel I test it. So far so good. E85+ every time.

    Goodbye Torqstorm, hello Spoolius Ceasar

    This was 32° I believe. I was still messing with fueling, but this was a couple of wot passes on the highway next to my house. E85 sure burns clean. I don't think I took pictures of the 34 plug test. But the mark is just on the bend of the strap.

    Goodbye Torqstorm, hello Spoolius Ceasar

    I didn't have fresh ones. But they look almost identical aside from the timing mark change. I've tested both timing changes on fresh sets before. Which is why I chose the 4° change. It will probably stay there as it seems to be happier over all with less timing. 32 was it's happy spot NA. Not...

    Goodbye Torqstorm, hello Spoolius Ceasar

    That run, 30° total, pulling .5° per psi after 2psi. Normally 34° with the same retard for boost. Maybe 1/2 a quart. Maybe a little more. I was adding to check the stick from a gallon jug. It didn't slip like most trans slip when low. Maybe the converter didn't fill up? I don't know, but...

    Goodbye Torqstorm, hello Spoolius Ceasar

    It was definitely blowing through the converter or slipping. Ran a couple of 10.7 passes a couple weeks ago. 10.79@114 letting off at the 1000ft 9.3psi boost (dragy numbers are a little off from timeslip) 10.74@126 7200rpm at the strip (3.55 gears) 10.4psi slipping hard shift light on the...

    Yes. Aem tru boost. But the 7.4psi was controller off. Wastegate only. 10.3 was with a stiffer spring and 25% duty on the Mac valve. My goal was to get the lowest boost I could just to see if i could not drive through the converter. So I put the small spring in and turned the controller off.

    On the bright side. I did go to another test n tune yesterday. Pulled 4° of timing across the board and put the lightest wastegate spring I could. This allowed the converter to actually couple (24% slip instead of 30+%). Even though the lack of timing killed my 1/8 mile numbers it actually...

    Well, fti dropped the ball and never started the build after I called and gave them payment info. Only reason I found out is I called to check on it and make sure I could make a specific track day. So I gave them a second chance, they called this morning and said the parts to build a 904...

    He said they're gonna go with their 9" (sst?) he specified they handle about 1000hp drag n drive cars pretty well. Should stall on motor probably around 3500ish. We both came up with the engine making about 750-820@9-10psi and this should give me some wiggle if I want to turn it up a little.

    I called yank to see if I could get it restalled and gone through, had to leave a message. Never got a call back. In fact ONLY ONE company actually called me back to talk about the car and setup and they called me back within minutes. So I went with FTI this go around, comes with a free...

    Cheaper maybe. Easier not so much anymore. They aren't local anymore so it's about as easy as everyone else. I'm going to get ahold of them maybe this time he won't act like it is a hindrance.

    Yes combo changed (was for nitrous). I'll call him. I had it done in 2021, it was always a bit loose. Probably easier for him to restall it anyways. They were local. Hopefully they didn't move. They do good work, just wasn't impressed with the lack of caring. Lol Edit... they moved to Ohio...

    I don't trust any of them. I guess that's the problem. I had yank build this one. But his son acted like he didn't give a **** when he was taking information, didn't even ask any good questions. I have sent In some requests to coan, ptc, circle d, edge.. so I guess I'll see if any of them call...
