good job Al!!! I really respect how you do everything on your car.

 

great job al i hope you crack the low 9's or better yet a high 8. I think its your time with all your hard work you have put in car. Good luck.

 

Great work on the cars Al. You have been busting your ***, I know it for a fact and it deserves some serious respect. Personally, I'd have probably just parked my car. I'm glad it is sorted out now, when I get the other head back here I'll check the springs out on the bench and see how they test.

George appears to be a kick butt driver, that car is going 9's if he can shift it like he did in the video. Very nice.

 

Hey Al what did the car do Hp wise w/ the ported head?

Glad to hear you'll be at the SO!

 

I am really curious to know that as well

 

Are you using the aluminum block for weight reasons?

 

sheer determination paid off...800awhp is impressive @ 41psi.

is that a special 37R, HTA or other? I have the HTA 35R .63 and wish I had the .82 now since I'm mostly into drag racing. Been thinking about going bigger turbo instead.

 

if I remember his previous posts correctly and things have not since changed it is a precision variant he had ordered specifically.

 

yeah I remember Al talking about cooking up a new version but wasn't sure if this was a vanilla 37R or the custom bits.

 

I wish the standard 37R could put down hp and tq like this...

I wish I could see these numbers when I eventually start to tune.

 

Al is running a custom turbo, a mixmatch of parts, seems to be working really well

Actually, Al has been running a head that was ported by someone else for a long time. When he was having trouble with that I sent him the head that I took off my RS to help him out, I re-used his springs from his hold head in it. When he got the head from my car he had the same problems and found a pin hole in it that was leaking water (we are not sure why that happened but the reference he made to the high EGT's/valve float are suspect as his other head did the same thing). I then sent him a head we had here ready to be ported, we just installed our race valves in it and good springs.

He does not have back to back numbers from the "stock" head to one of our race ported heads.

 

ok that makes sense the numbers are awfully good with a custom 37R, is that going to be made available?

 

I think he said previously it was a 6765 or close to it...

 

the stock head flows pretty good then, wow..

 

Al... kinda weird question but what boost controller, wastegate, and wastegate spring are you running?
