^ No.

 

Thanks Frank, definitely good to meet you as well. Thanks for the air!

I am confident that with a few more passes your car will be in 10 second territory as well.

 

130>><!!!! And i thought the top end would not produce on a green, boy are there some wrong peeps on this forum.

Maybe my observation came out a little strong, but, I think Buschur's GT35R kit would be a better route for me b/c I want to push the turbo at 30psi all day long. The car is my DD. The BB cartridge will stand up better to these kinds of boost levels compared to a standard bearing. The green is still a remarkable turbo, I just don't think it's one that would be best for my needs in the long run. Just my 2 cents.

Edit: I also will NOT be running C16 daily. However, I do plan on running E85 daily. 110 Octane FTW.

 

hey dadriva, I am just curious as to how u managed to trap 130 mph when making 430 whp on Buschur's dyno ? I put down 420 whp on Buschur's dyno and so far my best traps have only been in the 122mph range. Was there more tuning done at the track? I just cant understand how this +10whp is gettin you 8 more mph!
Not hatin or a non believer just wonderin. Any way awsome job

 

it's probably the torque/weather conditions

 

It was 70* out yesterday so it wasn't terribly cold by any means. Trap speed has a lot to do with shift points and speed of shifting, type of clutch, condition of tranny to name a few things.

 

Also, looking at your numbers....my rig makes 116lb/ft more torque at peak than your rig on the BR dyno.

However, your times correlate to your dyno figures exactly.

 

i guess i was just under the impression that torque would accelerate the car on the low end , and that horsepower is what pulls you down the big end and translated into mph. though you are making considerable more tq. my tq. graph is extremely flat and sustains to redline without fall.

I have seen quite a few different green dyno graphs and though they make big torque they all seeem to fall off like the stocker usually does. Is yours the exception to this or no

 

Here is the graph...

 

Steelcity, I think yours is the one underperforming for the dyno numbers in this case, because Nvr2old only put down 380 on BR's MD, and he trapped 122+ just like you. He's also leaving some mph on the table due to driving, but not that much...

 

I am not sayin that anybody is underperforming, obviously their times and mph are outstanding. I am just tryin to figure where all the xtra mph is coming from. from 2 similarly powered cars

 

I am sorry i am not trying to jack this thread.
I am runnin on my pump gas map , but runnin straight 104 octane and turnin the boost up 2psi to 25psi. I was just wonderin if this is adversly affectin me being not optimized for the boost/fuel and conservitive timing

 

Doesnt look like your similary powered at all. Like Dadriva said, he has 116 ft/lb more torque. Powerband is probably 10x better along with it.

 

I know, I was saying that YOUR car is underperforming in terms of traps vs dyno. Dadriva was definitely optimized for his C16 whereas it seems you are not optimized for 104. You both also have completely different powerbands, which means it's critical for each of you to shift at different points in each gear in order to optimize your available power. Dadriva appears to have squeezed every last bit out of his while you probably have a LOT of room for improvement without changing any mods.

Again, another 20g-LT with 380whp trapped 122, so that's the one you should be comparing to...
