Good question.
I would not think so since your RPM's at the traps would be considerably lower .....
I would think it would skew the reslults.
While we're sorta on the topic, I thought I'd ask why the "gurus" of TR's insist on having very high stall speeds for cars driven on the street, granted the turbo lag will be much greater with a lower stall, but if your like me and driving your car mainly on the street and not too concerned with turbo lag, a 2800-3200 will get you by just fine with plenty of stall speed to be used at the track, it just depends on your turbo and its spooling characteristics, tire height, and cam size.
My car will skate across 2 lanes with a measily 2400 stall with the TA-60 at moderate boost. I can only imagine what a 3200 stall would do.. And given that I race mainly on street tires and can't leave with much boost, if any, there's no real point for me to have a higher stall, wouldn't it make it much harder to control the car? Am I missing something here?
I've read many threads saying that when running larger turbos that a higher stall is a must in order for the car to be more streetable... My experience thus far has been the opposite... Granted a higher stall will greatly help with turbo lag, but will make for one helluva ride when the car hits second gear.
I drove the car today in wintry conditions and to me the car is more manageablr with a bit of a turbo lag as the car is more controllable for everyday driving and not to mention more economical, and once the turbo builds boost, its like the car just takes off...
I hope I am not missing out here, and am totally off track.. but just thought I'd offer my .02.
