What are you looking for for your turbo grind cams??? I mean i'd go with some CMS or MPH turbo cams, that have been proven to work. But another question from back when i was a tuner idiot...i remember hearing that you get turbo headers and cams made to suppress the exhaust gas pulses to keep the pulses from harming the turbo. anyone else know anything about this or if that statement is correct???

wow that is a sweet set up.

i laugh every time people get all worried about anywere near 450 rwhp, i have a buddy that was running a 2.1kb w/ ic at 10 psi making 478 rwhp and now bumped up to 12 psi guessing close to 500 rwhp on a stock mach bottom end

Ticking time-bomb that is...especially with the extra stress of the s/c. But more power to him. better not rev that thing to redline. lol

it was a ticking time bomb but now it is out getting built but it ran at that power level for 2 years with no problem. he would shift at 6500 max

Sounds dangerous to me...but it didnt blow which is good. lol

99 GT vert

yea more than i would do but his theory is if you are going to blow it blow it good

teej281

Well with the type of car(turbo) i wanna build, it i blow it and blow it hard(that sounded really dirty...), id be blowing pieces of motor into my turbo and that would not be good...so that wont work for me. lol

that is very wrong, the exhaust pulses are what keep the turbo spooled and help to spool faster.

No ****. I clicked on this thread fully expecting someone talking about their stupid *** unrealistic plans for their car, that they will never follow through on.


@OP: Looks really crowded in there!
