Who'd ever thought we'd see the day a stock block Lightning could hold 640/715
on a mere 16lbs of Boost no yet
UNFRIGGINGBELIEVABLE
TURBO'S FOR EVERYONE, we've seen it coming a long time now, and it's def happening. (and I bet we dont have to wait 2 more weeks to get one) AH HA HA HA

Frank you re-wrote the rules, amazing numbers Bro, BEST OF LUCK, GO GET UM!!

BTW
I see the stock valve springs have no problem taking that monster power ???

Rob holding 16psi is no problem. These are the stock springs of course, and I have seen 23psi with the MP during a test session early in MP development. I used to run 20psi pretty consistently with the Apten as well.

I did try to turn the boost up on the 3-4th pull, but I think a) the motor was starting to heat soak, b) the stock intercooler doesnt flow enough CFM EFFICIENTLY (havent found proof for or against this yet), or c) I need a 4" DP.

I Think answers A and C are true at least.

Notice how smooth the lines are and thats with smoothing at 1. I'd say somebody knows how to tune It was a steep learning curve but I nailed it.

I know when Sal changed the DP, he gained HUGE power, I believe 85HP rings a bell, but I'd agree on the A + C theory.

Either way, unfriggingbelievable Bro



Gee Thanks, now I have Spring Envy AND Turbo Envy

I think Sal said the change from 3" to a 4" downpipe was worth about 50 rwhp. Very worthwhile.
