how much boost could you get out of it before the switch?
I don't know. Owner stated 26-27 but was looking at a gauge

that's inline with some of the fastest 49/44 cars of driven and seen.the owner should have a good time with that car.i remember it was a bear to get the cars to turn those times back in the day,30psi of boost,higher timing,leaner afrs.

So everything is pointing toward speed density. I'm looking seriously at XFI next year. Haywire made the switch and is seen nice improvements in power and driveability.
Are you able to say how much HP was the car making. Seem to remember Nick talking about one he was tuning was making crazy power
Idk what crazy power is. 700-800whp? Not happening with a stock head, stock Intercooler, TA49. Maybe 400ish to the wheels all in unlocked converter

No not 700-800whp. With stock motor it was it the 400's which to me is crazy power with a stock motor
Almost 400whp with unlocked converter. It would be 440-450whp/600+tq if it stayed locked

What is contributing to the exhaust back pressure issue?
high manifold pressure, pressure drop across the core, small turbine

What would be a reasonable gain in hp with a low pressure loss intercooler, 15-20 hp on this combo?

I would guess quite a bit more than that if Brian says he could reduce pressure drop 5-6 psi and raise the manifold pressure that amount all while running the same drive pressure. 40-50hp maybe?

Wish I had old logs of the 6262 .63 that was on my car. Ve (engine load) looked as if it fell off a cliff above 5400rpm. Impressive numbers though Bison. How much do you think a locked converter would show on the dyno? Maybe even increased engine load in turn more boost...?
It likely would have been 450whp/620wtq. Full load 800rpm sooner and zero slip

Have a bad memory, however I believe this is what Nick came up with.

I've done back to back swaps of stock turbo to TE44.63 back to stock turbo, on a bone stock longblock/converter. The 44 is lazy compared to the stock turbo on pump gas only. I've gone 11's at 115-118 on the 44 with some head porting and a 210/210 110 cam and 3000 stall (actual 2800 at 0psi) converter on race gas. I think the 44 really shines when using 3000 stall converter, its an awesome combo on the street in a 3700+ lb GN/T..

Brian what would be a great converter match up for this kind of combo if going all in? My guess is a 9.5" PTC 15 blade.
