Two atmospheres are better than one
I appreciate that. Thank you. It’s about ready to come off the run stand and go in the car.

No. It’ll go on the chassis dyno once it’s in the car, but for tuning mostly. It’ll stop making power when I stop turning up the boost. It’s got enough turbo to make 1300 or so, which is well above where something will break and well above how much I need to accomplish my goal of low 9s with a stick shift on drag week.

It’s pretty mild actually. It’s a drag week deal so it’s gotta survive long trips and drag racing. I’ll race it on e85 and drive it on 87 octane. Stock bottom end magnum with lots of ring gap, Small 224@050 roller cam that’s not a lobe killer, lightly ported W2s from Brian at IMM, and lots of boost. It’s good recipe. There’s a video of it running in my build thread.
ain't you heard, if it's not .550+ lift and more than 290 duration it's a dog turd, ancient grind that's not gonna make any power at all.
and that's the minimum for a real street/strip car that's daily'd
time to get out of the 80's man!

Yea. This one had to be easy on springs and things. That’s what takes out a lot of people on drag n drive stuff. But it still has .540 with a 1.5 and I’m using 1.6s on it. It’s definitely not an old purple cam, but also not max effort stuff either.
Awesome. Should make some great steam!
