I was told it would support around 40......

Yah, we just turned the rod to lower the boost.

Early stock 7.3 powerstroke turbos are good for 18-25PSI
Later models are good for 25-30PSI.

That is with the 7.3

Not sure how that would equate to the SHO.

My '96 PSD maxes out at 18PSI with just intake and exhaust. Chipped and with aftermarket injectors would push it to 20+ PSI. But then Id need a $4k tranny!

I am not running a powerstroke turbo. I'm running a GT-42 off of a international line truck...

I'd love to race you in the standing mile, so hit me up if you ever go down there. But you have to take your slicks off. And no wagering money, I'd prefer not to loose a weeks gas money..:thumb:

a weeks gas money! I guess you haven't fully grasped how much fuel a boosted SHO can and will go through. :angelnot:

Looking good Have fun with it and please be careful. You can get into a lot of trouble very quickly now.

this is no joke. I just got pulled for going 100+ on the highway. I have 6 other tickets pending just from the last couple months. As you well know now 100mph only takes a few seconds to get to from a rolling start. It seems like no big deal in the car but cops tend to freak out.

Hey its no fun with out a wager. bring the car up to the shop soon and we can video a couple runs from a dig for youtube.
here is a data log i made of a standing half mile, i did it in 22 seconds, for some reason youtube messes up the files time line slightly, when i play back the original file on my hondata software it shows i hit 0-60 in just under 4 seconds, but once i upload to you tube it messes it up and shows it as just over 4 seconds, but any way you can see it hits 155 in 22 seconds flat :) and was just under a half mile to complete. here is the data log for yah to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUyhXKMV32A

oh and you and brian should come to numidia this friday, the track is way better then beaver, much better traction and over all facility. maybe he will let yah borrow his drag radials since he has the hoosiers now.

He will not want to run his slicks in the mile (and probably would not be allowed to). And the launch is of little consequence anyway.

Something is not adding up. What are your 1/4 times and traps? I thought you were in the 12sec/120+mph area? If so your last 1/4 should take less than 7 seconds, putting you to the half in under 19 seconds. Did you soft launch or something?

hi toolman. , on street tires i have to baby first, second and the top of third or i just break loose and peg revlimiter, at the drags its a little better but even on slicks i only 60ft like a high 12 second car typically low 1.8s but have done a best of 1.72, due to massive slick spin in all of first and second, yet i trap like a mid 11 second car. heres a video showing how bad i can spin the slicks even with a LSD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewkg7RJ82TI i spin all of first and all of second. and here is another video from out side, if you turn up your sound you can hear how bad and how long i spin the slicks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1loWHtf8Fxg i am upgrading to 23 inch slicks this week, then my 60fts should be steady low 1.7s maybe dipping into the 1.6 range, but i like it this way, there are guys who like to top end race and they sand bag a little, and when ever you have a car that traps way higher then it should for the time your dialed it always throws them off.

It actually is getting better mileage it seems if I don't get on it.

I know man, it doesn't take long to get up there.

I might come up to hang out. But I really don't want to run the 1/4 mile untill I get the quaife. I'm afraid of blowing up the diff, especially with slicks.
