So 26 degrees at 8 psi ?
You don’t want all that gear man . It’s not a NA car . max 373s you want the car to make the turbo work and build the heat in the exhaust side to make it spool . I’ll bet you you can get After it big time on the launch and then it will pick up mph big time out the back with a gear change . We went 4.90s to the 1/8 mile with a 3.60 rear gear ...
You keep saying yellowish tint on the plugs does nothing for anyone . In order to get a true plug read you must put fresh plugs in . Make a hit and shut it down and pull them . End of story . Not trying to sound like an ass but anything else you do youre waisting your time trying to read a plug . You can’t come on here asking for a solution and then say you consider getting your son to try this or that when people are offering you a solution.
I’d bet my life on it a stock cam with that turbo would pick up over that x cam you got in it . For 350 bucks the custom cam route would make a huge difference in how it runs and then using the cam to bleed off cyl pressure would open up the tuning window some as well . I’m no pro but have been around a bit .
Ha, look at you being the one that uses " the speech". You know what they say about leading a horse to water....
For me,..it only takes hearing things one time after I start blowing up sht.
Back in the mid nineties when I was dumb( er). I had a stock 460 in a drag car that I ran (2) stacked cobbled together super powershot nitrous plates on.
I knew nothing about plug reading, I knew nothing about octane ( other than pump premium made more power than race gas if you could get away with it) I knew nothing about how much timing was too much timing.
When I first brought that thing to the track...The car would run 7.0's on the one plate, and as soon as I grabbed the second kit, it blew a pressed in freeze plug out of the side of the engine.
I replaced the freeze plug with an expando freeze plug at the track, went out the very next pass, grabbed the second kit blew a different freeze plug out of the other side of the engine, destroyed the car from a resulting wreck.
Nobody could tell me what or how that happened..Until I called Al Moody.
It was then that I learned that I couldn't expect 93 octane to work with 350hp of nitrous. It was then that I learned that I couldn't run 36 degrees of timing. It was then that I learned that I was lifting the head, pressurizing the water jacket, and blowing freeze plugs.
I listened, I learned, I changed things.
