J you're killing me with those HP numbers. Makes me wanna go turbo. I was looking/dreaming at my engine compartment last night. How the hell did you get it all in there lol. Turbos, intake and exhaust plumbing, intercooler it just looks like it wouldn't all fit in there with AC, PS etc. I gotta go back and look at your setup. Don't you have an off-site page on your build?

Yeah gotta keep my creature comforts. I guess a healthy shot of nitrous will have to do for now. But it's a true daily driver. Even sees a little rain now and then. No snow though. Studs don't get enough traction lol.

You can make a twin setup around the ac but gonna need tube k member and really change the front end of the car as far as rad placement goes. It gets complicated fast with fitting trans cooler and intercooler in there along with ac condenser. Def a challenge but doable
I was gonna rear mount turbo my blue car but that project is on hold. Kinda want a front mount now with ac and stock accessories. May need battery relocation and possibly charcoal canister relocation

judging from the vid taming the boost after launch where your getting wheel spin might help you....hard to do unless you are data logging ds speed and erpm....what boost controller you have?

Ams 500. Its ok but i think it needsa time function like boostleash or a boost by gear
My best 60' was on wastegates alone whole pass. That day trackwas not holding much. Any ramped in power was spinning.
I really need better shocks

time for the ams 1000..lol ...it has both gear curve or time base....I had the leash then went with the 1000...I like the ams1000 over the leash.
currently got the new ams 2000...haven't tried it yet...cant wait.
I think should be .70 with 1000....over your current set up.

Its pricey thats for sure. I am doin a turbo upgrade i think and possible intercooler. Just not sure air to air or water to air.
I should do 3.08 gears and a better controller. I like some of ams500 features but also like boostleash. My friend has leash and has done well! 1.25 60' on back tire. I cant seem to better 1.35 on fronts. We have similar power, him slightly more as hes on race gas, but hes lighter and has 3.08's which made big difference in itself

if you still use the car on the street a/a is best just has to be really good one..a2w are heavy..lol
but cool way better.i have pt3000 a2w and air temp at the 1/4 is 104f with a single 106mm pt
not sure what 1st gear you have on th400....but taking gear out will help you
x275 guys run 3.50-3.70 out back with the majority running glides with 1.87 first or 400 1.95 1st gear....
I learned that on my turbo chevelle year ago...taking gear out and leaving on higher boost levels will b faster than higher gear ratio with less power...a good old turbo pro mod guy told me once is better to leave the starting line adding power than taking it out...lol

Nope not really. Cam i had an idea what i wanted but let my cam guy spec out the exact lobes and springs. Turbos i chose based on what i needed for flow, with the help of some basic turbo math in a spreadsheet i created
