How much more power is to be gained from the cutout? I just got mine in, and it's...rowdy.
Curious what I gained over running it out the back through my S-type quads.

Which mufflers are you running? I'm not sure if my s-types are a chambered or a straight through with extra filler in there. It's still stupid loud when it's in booat through the mufflers.
I think he said he was roll racing to 180mph.
Troy just make sure you clean out that valve body VERY good, sometimes we even replace them at work when they are alot of clutch material in them.
So 5th gear @ rougly 6000 rpm?? Converter locked? We definitely need more details on this. Sorry to hear but it looks like it'll be up and running before too long. Did you have any plans to attend Bradenton next weekend?
The car was in 5th gear, didn't let off till 180 mph. Ran it like that twice. It cooked the overdrive clutch pack. Oh well, it was fun, and had planned to upgrade the clutches and shaft anyway. Converter was definitely locked.
Vids??
LOL going hard for sure. Congrats on showing what has proved to be a tough trans who's boss!
Looks like you'll have her up and running before too long.
That sucks it broke
Couple questions though, Why turbo vs supercharger? and why the Boss instead of the Cobrajet?
Still looks like an awesome install!
My experience with both kits, a supercharger runs out of steam on the top end. Turbos don't if properly sized for the application.
Superchargers are easier to install, in most cases, especially a PD blower. Turbos are much more involved. You can also increase power on a turbo kit easier than a supercharger. There is no pulley to swap, you either increase spring weight in the wastegate(s), or use a boost controller if it's previously installed. I can also expand my power range from stock engine 600-700 hp to built engine 1100 hp range with nothing more than forging the internals and using either of the aforementioned methods to increase boost. With a supercharger, you are having to sell what you bought and go larger. For instance, you are selling that nice generation 2 VMP 2.3L TVS and buying a Kenne Bell monster. Me spending the money the first time insures I don't have to do that.
The Armageddon kit and tuning is optimizing for the Boss intake, since it was designed for the Boss 302 originally. To run this kit on the GT, you have to change to the Boss intake. There is no charge piping for the Armageddon kit that will work with the stock GT intake manifold. No plans to release one either. The Cobra Jet manifold is too expensive to justify, as I doubt power gains would justify cost. I bet there would be none honestly. The smaller stock single blade TB and Boss manifold has supported 1400 rwhp on the 5.0 engine. More power is free, just increase boost. One could debate the CJ manifold with larger TB could create the same power, using less boost, due to less restriction. However, I haven't seen anything tested or compared in real world side by side turbo applications yet. That remains to be seen.
