How the hell is your motor still together? Lol, is the motor still running strong?

 

mid 10s at elevation i think he said..

 

IDK but so far it's been liking it

Went 10.14/132mph in Colorado at 5000' elv. This was with GT76@20psi full weight one pass got thrown out, and blew turbo all in one...Could have prob nipped a 9.98 if I could have got a cpl runs to mess with it. This S480 Is making 24-25psi up here and burning same fuel as GT76 did at sealevel @20psi. Im confident It will go mid high 9's up here, and prob sub 9.50's at sealevel if engine holds. Times in sig were at 800' elevation GT76 on 20psi so you can imagine what 25psi is like lol

Had to buy a new boost gauge, never thought Id need a 30psi gauge for a stock engine lol

 

^^^ looks photochopped to me...

 

Man that's awsome, I can't wait to take this little toy motor up to 25psi with a real turbo, this 15psi stuff is getting boring!

 

Interesting, well our elevation is about 3000', with that BW s475/92, how many pounds do you think I could push with the stock head bolts? And how many psi if I bought head studs before the rods bend on my '03 motor? Mabe a more accurate question to ask would be on a 4000LB truck, how much mph could I run before I'd start bending rods? I want to push it, but not break it lol, I'll be installing forged rods/pistons next year sometime along with some L92 heads.

 

127mph and 16psi in my truck at 4850lbs will bend and break the early style rods. S475/92 will make prob make 18 -20 psi at 3000'. I wouldn't even waste the time swapping heads on that engine unless you put better rods in it. Tty head bolts usually give up after a few months of around 15-16psi. Some last longer some less. Lighter truck easy launch good tune u should be able to break 130 for a little while with the stock heads and light rods.

 

That's kinda what I figured, man I wish I had spent the extra dough and bought an 05' motor! Oh well. I'm just gonna have to forge my beast lol
