New to the turbo game and had a few questions. My setup is 347 stock block out of the box twisted wedge heads turbonetics 73 mm silver fox aod. It has 373 gears in it now just wondering is 331 or 327 gonna make a big difference in et? Ran the car wed night and it ran 10.68@127 no trans brake leaving on
-10 psi and my othe question is water meth will it make the operating temp lower on everday driving? Dont want it for more power just to keep engine temp down.
what rpm where you crossing the traps at? You should have been running out of gear with the 73s. 127 should get you into the 10.4, not bad for no t/b.
Water/ meth is for cooling your inlet temps while on boost not for cruising. You have to evaluate your cooling system and see what you can change to bring the temps down.
I was crossing the line @5800 it kinda feels like it falls on its face in the higher rpms. I talked to Dan at silver fox sending him my vb and he is installing tb.
With the tb think the 331 gears will defiantly help load the turbo without sacrificing any 60' time will probably gain MPH also. careful with the stock block
Yeah ive always had nos and ive split three blocks on the kits heard turbos are a little easier on the blocks but its so easy to turn the boost up! lol Only running around 10psi max. Car ran 11.003 @125 on 7.5psi.
Meth is for on boost...Good times by the way...Yes turbos are easier on blocks..not as violent...Your close to the limit...I have ran as much as 17psi all the way down the track, but HP is what splits them not boost...I dont have great heads and intake but runs good anyway....lol...
I am switching from 3.73's to 331's I run out gear at the track. I am thinking about TB too from silver fox. You like his trans? How long you have it? Is it a lockup?
I really like silver fox Dans great talked to him all last week about my trans brake. As far as the trans I've had no problems with it and I beat the heck out of it! Non lock up converter I have a 3700 10" ptc.
nice. Im at 3240 (i was 228lbs, down to 211 and counting..lol) last we checked before Team Z suspension and Turbo setup. Praying for an under 3200lb car when everything is said and done.
If you've never had a turbo car...... Wow drove my car 50 miles last night to race all night and drove it home like a champ!!! I've always had nitrous car and I will never own another!
Ive owned everthing from supercharged,nitrous,and ive had 4 cyl turbos..All i can say is WOW on a turbo Fox body.its insane...I havent even hit full boost yet...lol....I will always want a turbo V8....
