The 62-1 with .81 A/R was building 12.3 psi before 2200 rpms/ We had to spring the gate down and now we are pushing 9.1 all in before 2500.
Have no tried the 76 yet .
Just alot of fun to drive.

Congratulations guys!!!!

Thanks, there should be some pics up next week of a coated set. Allen knows how to tune these trucks right up. Looking forward to getting these next sets done and out to market.

Since Allen has the A2A IC covered we are starting the mock ups and looking at the other turbos placement and plubming lay out.

allen finished up the turbo kit only days ago, but the noise level is very low you can hear the turbo and the wastegate, but it is not loud at all and is actually a little quieter than the STS on allens truck. the turbo spools very easily, around 1800 it is at 5psi with the stock converter,(actually have gotten 6psi a couple of times). so far it is an awsome kit, and i plan to work the hell out of it so feel free to ask any questions.

The hot parts are obviously stainless, but for now, there are no plans to make the intercooler plumbing from ss. Mild steel coated or aluminum will work out great.

Trick has an a2w intercooler in testing.

There is very little noise, a real sleeper. If one was wanting more noise, simply instsall a 3" electric cutout on the down pipe.

thanks,
allen
