Don't know much about comparing different car speeds. I'm confused. I recently watched a video montage of a member doing some runs in his Si and beating Mustangs. They must have not been GTs. ??? I don't think he is Turboed or supercharged.
Edit: just found the video.

Those were V6 mustangs. Aka the slow ones lol the 5.0 is the v8 version with like 420 crank hp and 400 torque.

Me either. My buddy has a Camaro rs and I would put bus lengths on him with just a cai. Same thing with the mustang, the issue is that the body style makes these cars heavy the challenger, Camaro, charger, and mustang v6 versions are all slow lol

Just read you biuld thread... Great job... Brought back memories and gave me ideas.. Im having just a little issue now with the two pipes coming out of the intercooler.. They are rubbing against that second rib/edge before they go up into the engine bay.. Gotta fix it before it wears a hole in the pipes.. The sound bothers me too....

wow my piping is rubing right there too! ...do you have motor mounts? cause if not i think thats the issue ...i just ordered my full set of hasport motor mounts 88a
Are you finished tuning yet? Have you gotten any power estimates?

not yet, i had to put a pause on the tuning because of the clutch i have a 500 mile break in period before i can do pulls again ...i got like 50 miles left though soo i will be continuing next week, plus i didnt want to keep beating on the car without my hasport motor mounts that are on the way...if i had to guess based off all the other turbo guys #' running the same set up as me ill be running 12psi which should easily be good for 420whp+ and 300trq+
88a is pretty stiff, are you using the car as a daily?

nope, weekend toy although i have to say i have been daily the car this week to break in the 500 miles and it drives like a dream...wouldnt even know its turbo...
gas sucks tho lol.
Tell me about it. When I supercharged my 97 Ex it went from getting 32ish to 17-20mpg driving like grandma. I know I will probably recoup some of that once I get a full tune, but I was daily driving that car for 6 months. I was only getting like 180 miles out of a full tank of gas.
