yea you should always be able to make more power with a standalone... piggybacks might get you close. might. That's not a good word when you've got a lot of money put into it. I plan on just running a OE shortblock on VPC + AFC w/ a .67/.70 t4 and 550 or 560 cc inj. Just to see what'll...

grandavi... I believe the reason you may have gotten the advice you did is because on stock electronics a ct pretty much stops making power @ 15 psi. I understand w/ a standalone you can pull a bit more power, (also meth inj. would net more power) but the turbo will be pumping some...

if you're serious about making power... it's just like I stated in a previous thread... stock shortblock should hold 700hp w/ a good tune. Although you will want to run a AEM ems, and find a damn good tuner. TBH though on stock electronics, and intercooler, I didn't feel safe running over 12...

As far as I'm aware... a good tune on a stock 7m shortblock will hold 700hp.... how long is the question. There's honestly a lot of variables at play, and on an old engine it's hard to account for all of them.... people generally consider 500hp to be a "safe" number (and of course 400 even...

LMAO you guys are awesomely hilarious

gotcha :cool:

I'm totally missing something.... I thought an intake leak would cause you to run even richer?

beat me to it... even if everything is plugged in, double check, and make sure everything is nice and tight. Everything can look ok, and you still have a loose connector. IAC could be the culprit as well. I always used cheap ass autolight coppers.. changed them every time I changed my oil...

:cool: my 89 mkiii turned into a rattle trap :( sadly it was totalled otherwise I would've stopped @ nothing to fix it

:( @ warped OEM lips.... this looks good though.

even with arps it's still highly recommended to get a MHG... I did run a 7m on 12 psi (sometimes creeping to 15+ O_o not to my liking) for 10,000+ miles making roughly 400bhp w/ a cometic + ARPs no issues. No issues till my buddy over-boosted (creep) it and fried a piston. I will be...

nice I think I'm'll save up for the .67 driftmotion is selling... it will of course be dyno tuned immediately.

wait are you running the stock fuel pump? it's a shot in the dark but the tuner may have been concerned about that. It's my understanding that the stock fuel pump can support 500hp at least, but it's not advisable....

should be able to get a safe tune @ 16 psi min. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to hit 400 w/ those mods... of course you will want a metal head gasket

hey HMNG did you cut holes in your crash support for better airflow? that's what it looked like with the bumper off....

welcome aboard... that block looks pretty rough.... you've definitely got your work cut out for you... :cool:

I could... having had my seats out I'd estimate the pass. to be ~50 lbs driver ~75 lbs.... very good read so far, lots of shiny pics :cool: BUT! 69 GS pics or BAN

I had one... IIRC it was considered a t-66... should be good for 700hp... note that I said SHOULD... I dunno how good the housings are on those things... but garret internals... mine had .70 A/R cold and hot (or was it .68 hot?) deffinitely .70 on the cool side.... it's been about 4 yrs...

Ok, I've welded up my own exhaust (worked, sounded GREAT... using magnaflow muffler) also bought a BIC exhaust w/ magnaflow muffler which guess what... sounded GREAT... I also had another one done locally when I lived in Va, EXCELLENT work... What it breaks down to is what you use, and who...

good stuff.
