Turbo Regal is back together after about 8 months with new motor, tranny and turbocharger. Had it out just cruising after retorquing the heads and only have about 12# of boost set up and 15 miles on the new assembly and the alky spray is not hooked up either.
So this guy in a Turbo Supra spots me and pulls up behind me tailgating and taunting me.
I'm repeating "no I can't, no I can't, no I can't".
Darn light turns red and he jumps beside me.
Oh so what, if I lose, I lose. That will make all the more fun the next time!
I reach down by the ashtray and give the boost knob a half twist (should be about 15-16#).
I do not preload the turbo and just go on the green.
I took him out of the hole with no boost on an 8-1 compression V6 in a 3700# car with a 3000 stall converter. Guy had to be sleeping.
He pulls alongside and begins to slide past as his small turbo is on boost and my big vacuum cleaner is going wait, wait, wait.......NOW!
Even at 16# boost the turbo screeches just like a Bald Eagle back through the 9" K&N in my left front fender now even with the open window in his passenger door and he turns his head with this look on his face that says what is that?
The Regal just squeals the new Firestone Firehawks and shoots forward.
I now have a car length and just leave it in drive. The trans governor shifts it into second at 5200-5300 and the tires let out another squeal. The car gets crooked just a bit and I have another car length. Hold the pedal to the floor for another second or two.
I am now at 60 mph in a 45 and let off, the Supra still fading.
He pulls in behind me and stays there until he turns off.
Not even a thumbs up, wave, finger up, nothing!
