I have been looking and not finding much on the 73htz. I am trying to find out what everyone else is full spool at. Been getting the car street tuned after doing a bunch of stuff and I am not getting full spool until about 4500rpm

That seems a bit slow but it is the SS housing so I know that it gives up some spool for better top end. On my 73HTA in an MHI housing, I see ~28psi at 4k rpms and this is on a stock block limiting the spool to keep the stock rods happy.
I just finished building the bottom end so I'll find out what it is really capable of in the coming weeks.
Seems to be about right for the SS housing. They're kind of lazy, especially on a 2.0L.
Its crazy to me to think that they moved to the SS housings. I know that the supply of good MHI hotsides was the limiting factor but an SS green is basically a TS red at this point.
It seems that the SS housings bump the turbo a color up.
SS Green will spool like an MHI Red. SS Red will spool like an MHI Black. Etc.
I have the OG JB Black and I'm full stupid by that RPM. I was actually debating about moving down to a Green but if I can't get a twin scroll it'll be pointless.
If it is normal then I am fine. I did want a little faster spool but if it makes power I am fine. Will need to see how if feels getting off and back on the gas in the turns. Going to double check and makes sure there are no exhaust leaks and do another boost test.
This is what the graph looks like now. Still needs some more time tuning
