FP green turbo worth the price?
BTW...if I recall correctly there were a few people bashing the dyno numbers provided by DLL. These people stated that cars need to by dyno'd on a dynojet and then backed up on the track. Well, I haven't made it to a dynojet, but did go to the track this past Friday night. Here is the time slip from my best run:

In case it isn't evident, I am car #20311. The other car was a newer M3. LOL!
How much horsepower would you estimate would be necessary to run that kind of time?

BTW, what finally brought you trap speeds up from 121-123 to 127mph?
Yes, it captures your 60' which tells something about your driving, but not as much about your car as the 1/4 mile.
For instance, a Green turbo and a 35r might run the same 1/8 mile, but once they're on the back half, big turbo says bye-bye...
Exactly my point...doesn't give a full idea given that with some setups the power doesn't kick in till later. That's why I don't trust conversion calculators either.
I dont think that that timeslip is as indicative of Green performance as some others. That is really a stock turbo type time slip. Heck even mine isnt that great for a Green compared to some stock turbo cars on the same fuel and nearly the same boost.
Nisei IC and piping
Hallman MBC (set to 22psi)
Custom reflash
Braille battery
Everything else is stock. Tire pressures weren't even touched.
I would HIGHLY recommend sticking with the stock ported intake manifold and a 65 mm throttle body actually. I don't think any aftermarket intake manifold is going to give an over all benefit to the green.
GREAT NEWS!
This weekend Tony and Tom Powell from Oklahoma came to the DSM/EVO Shootout and set a new record. They ran a 10.87 and 10.88 on the green at 127.xx mph AND did it on a stock ECU, stock shortblock and stock head!
Great job Tony and Tom.

And one long *** trip it was!!! whew!
I'm sorry, my fault for assuming. I was thinking it looked REALLY REALLY stock, I guess I know why now.
I just received my AMS 3" TBE and Walbro 255 today. I am installing it tomorrow and having the car retuned. There is another 1/8 mile event being held this Friday and I will be back out there. The car should run a little bit quicker, but I am more concerned about running consistent times rather then one very nice time and a bunch of ok times.
