Richie Rich, I think I've only ever seen your engine bay pics or just parts alone, how about chucking up a few pics of the car this gear is going in??

HAHAHA mine's been on here for awhile. it use to have a 26/30 . Here's a pic of the car with the old setup with is all SOLD. only kept the turbo and wastegate. I will have more photo's once it get's to mild to wild. Then it will be off to see Whitey and the boys @ EFI ! Plenty of photo's to come. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice looking car! Yeah I know you've been around for a while, just can't remember seeing a pics of the car that's all

Best thing I did with that setup going 3.7's. I will still keep them for this V8 setup. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

*Update* Friday arvo , got the call. The powerglide & the 3k stall is ready to be picked up. Hopefully the motor will be in early next month. Just got to see how the funds are holding up, due to me booking my Super GP unit. Fingers Crossed!

Richie good stuff and good to see ls1 in vl's- cubes and torque go hand in hand- back to the point- i see you are running the comp 918 springs............hmm- some have had good luck with them and the rest have **** engines- but i put duals in all my engines- being a turbo engine i would want around 155-165 pounds on the seat and over 410-425 on the open. with boost it might aid the fight against float-from what i seen and worked on- ls1 weakest link is springs and rod bolts and oil pumps when going over 6500rpm- Hope all goes well Thanks Nick--

Umm not sure. I'll have to wait to see when it gets on the dyno. At a guess 5 - 8psi.

That would probably be an easy 350rwkw to 400rwkw through a glide.with that turbo. Jason.

Its not about boost, its about air flow or cubic feet per minuite at a certain turbo shaft speed. 8 psi on a 4202 on a 5.7 ltr engine would be a similar shaft speed too a 3 ltr engine but the 3 ltr will have 20 psi at the same cfm Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Boost is boost- so the way to look at it on a ls1 is that turbo +346 cube's is not a 346 anymore- increase of cylinder pressure or cubes is the name of the game- but the downfall is that the more you increase the boost on a big engine is more it will suck the flow rating out of any turbo........ It still balances out which ever way you look at it-
