Turbos are just cool in general...
shine1stang said:to tell you the truth i have a soft spot for your guys turbo buicks. the ford 3.8l essex engine is based off the gm 3.8. so the endless turbo v6 knowledge on here rocks. Im a tru car guy, while i have my preferences what i drive, i dont bash on others cars. if its fast i can respect it...
jt, i just saw that you have the same cam as myself. its an awesome street cam for sure! no if you are going to push the limits then i believe you will need more duration.

I got it up to 13.8psi falling off to 13.1, 14* of timing, af 11.5 and the car made 445/504. Wanted to crank it up to 16psi and see if it like timing but run out of time this session. I have real good data to work with and have a dyno and 1/8th mile track local to me I can do some more tuning on. By far this is not all that's in this combo.
btw...we were letting out at 6000rpm according to my factory tach.

Jt you have prp right? if so take to the track and get some solid baseline mph then go from there. you will be surprised what a lil timing will do with our motors. get that meth injection going and play with boost. with 20psi on my old pt61 making 500rwhp we started spraying alky control 15gph nozzle with no tuning changes picked up 50hp. added 5* and picked up another 50 then said taht was good enuff(19*)my car has never been tuned to its full potential. it will be this year.Wish I had give it more timing.

I've run the stock ignition to 600 rwhp. Using Autolite 103 and live wires. The 8.8 rear end is pretty stout as well. I haven't converted to 31 spline or better as of yet. The stock 4r70w transmission w a good aftermarket valve body can hold 5-600hp. Unlike the 5.0 block our block are est to hold 1000hp. Nobody to my knowledge has "split" a block yet.I understand the heads are awesome, but can tell us about things like, what the block will hold?, is the stock ignition a limiting factor? What do you have to do to the rest of the drive train to handle high power (ex, 800hp). Thanks.
