if you possesed this mythical thing you called 'knowledge' you'd know trying to race a highly modified car, on 5-6psi, is about as efficient as trying to fall UP a set of stairs. At that boost pressure i'd be surprised if it made any more top end power then a standard rb30, and would be a lot laggier and generally **** to drive, especially fast. on 5-6psi, that turbo wouldnt even be trying, not to mention how poorly the car must run with giant injectors and no boost. To expect results in that state of repair, would be fairly ridiculous. And im sure once its tuned and more boost is screwed into it, it'll just turn that box to sludge anyway. But hey, your the 13 second weapon modification expert aye?

CHASEBT1 yeah knowledge that you dont have... why dont you get off YOUR high horse mate! if you knew anything, you would have seen genki talking bout the STOCK auto, not an auto in general or standard engine. and so the stock auto has alot to do with it... he said standard auto so im guessing standard converter... which means slow 60's with that turbo and a stocko stall it would takes ages to come on boost, plus on stock boost would mean the mph would be no where near what its capable of. plus the drag of the big wheels etc etc odviosly when he has done the things he has listed the is going to do to it the set-up will be at its full potenial... read peoples posts properly before you give it to them mate or else you look like a penis. why u think josh laughed at you. ps awesome car turbo3l ive seen it around too and i think its sik!

Hmmm, I assume the bottom end will hold out just aswell! lol. jesus christ. okay guys, I'm getting rid of my powerglide don't need a worked 2spd to handle my power, 4spd jatco will do just fine! and f*ck my intercooler don't need that either Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
