Default Called out by a Saleen Focus

A dude in this turbo ford focus saw me drive off and get into boost a bit and said he wanted to race. So we line up and go from a 40 roll. I'm not sure what the stock specs are but he said he was running 12psi.

‪turbo saleen focus 12psi vs turbo silverado 10psi‬‏ - YouTube

This converter is definitely not a 2B, or at least not acting as a 2B should. I was pushing through it for the whole run. I'll give it a couple weeks, or maybe a couple months and see if I get sick of it. Stalls way too high...but at least I do have the capability for WOT lockup now. Still have to tune for that. Otherwise, transmission seems to be running great now. New builder did the trick

Lol, I might just do that. I'd wait til I add a few more pounds of boost though. There's a guy in these parts with a fox body mustang that runs 10.98 on the motor down in phoenix, 11.3-ish at this elevation. Once I can beat him from a roll, the truck might be worth putting money on

You can definately hear the truck pushing through the converter. I'd get that fixed up honestly. The truck will be entirely different!

Anyways... congrats on the kill. Shoulda left it in OD. lol

I like how you were complaining about how it wasn't tuned for the tranny, and it was going to be slow. And then Diego running his mouth and sandbagging for you. The guy in the saleen didn't know what hit him for about a half hour lol. You need a new speedo that goes above 120, id like to know how fast were going, cuz looking over and seeing it pegged out doesnt tell how fast were going.
