My 87 GN vs Friends LS1 Formula

[Epitome]

I believe he is claiming that his boost went to 28 psi with a stock turbo....then he recently got the 63. Still doubtful nothing would have immediately happened, but I guess it is possible. No way it didn't do some damage...if the story is true. It sounds like he went from 0 up to about 100 mph....more than 10 seconds of huge detonation at wot.

Maybe his gauge was messed up

Two outragous kill stories in one week maybe you need to slow down and grow up a little or something, I dont know.
I am not really one to talk much seeing I am only 19, I have had my GN for two months and drive it pretty hard. I have been just itching for a race and still havn't found one. Let alone two crazy ass ones in a week. If you have the money for rebuilds by all means run it to the ground, but for me Ill do my foot the floor for a couple seconds at times and leave it at that.

going to Irwindale Raceway Tomorrow night wish me luck! 1/8 mile track

Your "slipping" tranny may be the *cough cough* 3200 stall converter that you're all excited about...
