Now wait a minute... Consider we are still in R&D. And remember, I NEED this type of powerband with the 5-speed...
I DEFINITELY agree with Neal. His heads or Champion units will DEFINITELY make the powerband larger and gain up to 100 more HP. NEAL and Flatsman will break that 6000 RPM shift point, but not many of the rest of us, even after a build.
To eliminate that Supra syndrome, I am considering 2.73s so we can prove BROTHERDAVES point, because he is right. But let me tell you, I WILL keep you pinned in the seat from 2nd though at least 150, I PROMISE. I am not sure I WANT full boost at 2000 because the 5-speed is less rev-forgiving, and I was breaking the tires loose at 60 with the Procharger... What this means is the GEARS will make a Roots-type graph that will peak instead of falling OFF at the top.
BUT, remember... While Justing watched A/F, Slater watched the TACH, I was in the bed of the truck watching the boost guage (YES during the run) so I could dial in the controller. He lifted at 5000 after I almost pegged the guage.
I hammered on the glass to shut down at 16 so we wouldn't hit 20. The point is, the rev-limit is 5600, and I am holding the graph now, and it hits peak at 4700-4900.
Perfect for me, and Austin can tell you how hard these things pull through all the gears (Ask him what happened with 600 lbs of passengers at 1/2 throttle in 2nd). The more I think about it, I am NOT sure I WANT FULL boost at 2000-5000!!! I DO want to use first though, but the top end would be JUST INSANSE with a 2.73.
Anyone wanna trade their 3.08 for a 3.55? LOL!
See notes from those that have ridden in Marks, and you will know the powerband is different and will come up sooner, but I have the 5-speed, and it is less forgiving to the revs... HeHe!
I want to say thanks to Mark and all the guys at Pro-Turbo!!! And can't forget Talley and Austin for all their help!!! Justin is the **** too BTW!!
