Initial impressions when compared to the HC 408 w/ TVS?

 

80e impression?

 

The 408 had a lot more bottom end, as expected, but that also has a lot to do with my cam choice as well, 218 230 on the 408 and 236 230 with this one. The top end is pretty crazy. I had tuning experience with a blower before the 408 but I've never tuned a turbo before so I'm taking it slower, but once I put in more than 4 degrees of timing on the big end its going to be nasty even so 120 comes pretty quickly.

80e impressions are, "Damn these gears last forever", and I like it much better than the 60e so far

 

I like my 80e for that reason as well.
I was just thinking that your cam is very similar to my old one......then

 

subscribed!

 

The gearing change in the trans will also effect your bottom end power. I don't think it will be much at all but in adition to the cam it all adds up.

 

turbos LOVE the long gears, so hush

 

Good to hear you're driving it again!! Gunna be a fun ride once its dialed in.

lol

 

Heres a little driveshaft comparison...my new shortened 5" on the left, 4" in the middle, and I threw in the stock front dshaft for ***** and giggles


NNBS truck intake with aftermarket rails and 60lb injectors set up for return-style


trans cooler and intercooler mounted...


finished

 

heres a quick vid from a dead stop, boost hovered around 10lbs and timing was around 12 degrees, af around 11.6, shifts are around 6600.

The combination of a smallish stall, big duration cam, big turbo, and higher first gear of the 80e means I no longer have any traction issues, which is nice. Once the turbo gets going this thing is nukkin futs!

Open downpipe as well, damn thing sounds like a race car
