But i always remember 510 because that what it actually has once it was setup in the motor and measured. Do run the .022 valve lash? My turbo is a bitsa i got made to what i wanted, its a Gt4294, but with a 71mm borg warner billet wheel. Same size as the gt4294 wheel roughly that flowed 850hp that i had, but this flows 925hp at same rating and i think 975hp at 30psi, as its a high pressure wheel it loves boost. Gt4202 flow 950hp at the same rating as this ones 925hp. i just wanted a good pump fuel turbo and this in the states is meant to be the best (precision basically sell it as a 71GTS). if i wanted to drag it, i would have gone for a 76-80mm turbo(probally a 78mm) How long did JPC take to do you mani etc, they took 12 months to get me a intake mani modified with the 90mm throttle body..crazy cheers darren Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It had c16 in it, not bloody methanol..lol, this is the bit your all missing... HOW DO YOU RUN 28 DEGREES OF TIMING AT PEAK TORQUE WITH 40PSI...ROFLMAO( as it had 28 degrees everywhere), not just at peak power at the top of the rev range where there is less cylinder pressure cheers darren
