Easy to do once. Just turn the boost up until the needle wraps around and hope you don't lunch the head gaskets until after the traps...

I think two notables come to mind.... both are waaaaay bad @ss in my book......
Ed Brewer took a stock turbo... stock (unopened) longblock... stock cam.... car to 7.17 in the 1/8 and 11.37 in the 1/4 with pump gas and alky.
Tim Stockwell took a (unopened I think) stock longblock car with a TA62 (I think) to a 10.76 (or so) in the quarter before it popped a head gasket.
Both of these are quite a high mark IMHO.
FWIW.... if you were running a TA62... or TE62... I am not so sure your car wouldn't be close to Tim's times...probably take 30-32 psi boost though....
thats motivating. so if i can get mine in the tens it would be one of the top unopened motor cars around with a 52mm??
Damn.. settle down.. believe what you want.. 17psi on the footbrake is pure bull****.
Ok.. now it makes sense.. He has a pts convertor.. you have to back that statement up because you sold it to him..
3200 loose? damn, what do you call a 5500 convertor?

I will believe it. it's reality. In my own car, I can hold 15# boost on the footbrake on my front lawn!!.......Makin WAY more power than him...... Grumpy is an eye witness to this statement. That's how I sold him the PTS billet 9/11.......PROOF!
I sold him what? I haven't sold him anything.....WTF did you get that from?
I call a 5500 stall converter STUPID!![]()
Yours isn't a 52mm ... it is a PT52 if I understand it... according to PTE's website... it is a 60mm compressor wheel.... just like my TE60.... but has a slightly bigger exhaust wheel as my TE60.... same wheel as the 6152.... I thinkkk the T350 ehhaust wheel. The TE60 has the T31 wheel.... which is also the same size as a TA49 and TE44 exhaust wheel.

so its a 60mm turbo?
Damn.. settle down.. believe what you want.. 17psi on the footbrake is pure bull****.
it was about 29-30lbs of boost with the cutout off. that is what the car was tuned at i believe. the reason the car doesnt have a transbrake is because its my daily and i dont care about racing the car that often at the track. im not sure why the car doesnt creep it just held it. but i mean i run pro tree for the races here because thats what we do on the street. well with a flashlight though.lol. the car didnt creep at all that i could tell. just took off like a bullet. as far as head gaskets dont get me to lying. heads are untouched though. it is an ALL stock motor, intake, plenum and throttle body. i am fixing to put an accufab plenum and throttle body on the car off of a car at the shop we are working on. we have some really good parts for ridiculous cheap in the for sale section. this guy built the car with us and hardly ever drove it. now we are bulding him a bigger motor and a 76mm turbo. so check them out too.
