See if you can get a hallman with a ceramic ball and heavy spring. They seem to work a lot better and have a wider/higher range of boost to choose from.
I may have to get a hallman like that so we can see what the blue bomber really wants to lay down powerwise and just sell this forge one its only been used once which would be now LOL brand new new turned a wick on it until finally today so hopifully jorge will be on later posting graphs etc for the first set of numbers ill buy anew controller after talking to him today and we will get that over 600 pull for sure. All i know is its show and go over here for sure proving some thing as well with some of the parts i am using love the way the car sounds fp cams rock

Thanks Carlos your the man dude im still waiting on those samples so i can maybe get my calipers recoated by you boss

Depending on the graph (boost curve) you may be able to keep the boost on the top end a little higher and break 600WHP by using the Hallman. I'm sure it's tapering to 26 PSI or maybe even less at peak RPM's.

What kind of dyno is it?

Also, do you have an E85 station nearby? If not, why all the tuning for it? On pump gas the car will lose 100+ WHP / 100+ TQ easily because of the lower octane and boost. The good thing is the turbo (and your twin disc) will live longer that way.

584 @ 35psi? theres more timing on the plate uptop. either way 584 combined with 536tq you might want to consider buying diapers next time you get in that evo rock.. the torque will really surprise you. i hope youre a safe driver, because these cars can be a handful on the street.

how much boost was the forge holding uptop?

no HD video yet?????????? come on!!!!!!

your Z is going to feel like a pig compared to your evo man. no comparison! Z is a pimp mobile tho.

LOL the Z will do its thing. there will be a short video of it later the car has WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more power in it. its the soft spring that's capping the blue bomber jorge will change to stiffer spring but we want to make sure on low boost its around 26psi for my pump gas soon so we shall see this weekend im buying tires Friday as one got destroyed

lol. ya soft spring sucks on hallman also, thats why i asked how much boost it was holding uptop. that spring will effect that also. looking forward to seeing video in hd

when are you gonna pick it up? are they doing your Z also? definitely a nice christmas present to get the car back.

Here's the video clip of Rock's car on the dyno.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yZsAwFP-wA

The car is holding 27-28psi up top. I'm going to switch over to the stiff spring in the Forge prior to the next dyno trip.

where have you been lol e85 but my car did not break a sweat and has alot left in it was limited due to the soft spring in my forge MBC. as stated early there was no effort for it to make that. so jorge is going to change to a stiffer spring so it can go for real and hopifully low boost will be around 26psi with the stiffer spring then that would be perfect for my pump gas tune.

now i can say them. the hidden goals i set for this car were doable but i wanted to make sure i gave myself every chance to get them

Pump (tune not done yet)

510-550 no adders like meth etc.


e85(glad they finally opened stations last month)

600-625 good enough
