out of the dozens of TTY bolts i replaced the heads lift at 25-27psi lol
On stock 4032 and rings I won't run much past 21psi. Also let the car cool down between runs. don't make one pull after another, will melt a piston.

Thanks for the input. The car is a weekend play toy I dont drive it much at all. I bought it in 2012 and have put roughly 3,000 miles on it in 7 years. I will put it down the track once in awhile for the fun of it. I probably wont make but 650 wheel hp for the street and I ld like to get 800 wheel for the track runs just to cut some good times in the 1/8th. Im not much worries about hp numbers long as the car is happy and lots of fun to drive. I have a couple guys in my town that like to talk one is a 306 n/a fox with big gears and one has a 572 crate motor so I just need to bust them so they can shut up.
whats the setup? have the supporting mods to plant the power shouldn't be very hard on low boost. unless they have a few stacks of bens stuffed in them
Just cleaned up my 93 tune. should hit 9.7@140. 16psi.

I have MM coil overs #250 springs, UPR k member, UPR front control arms, steeda full length subframes, J&M upper and lower rear control arms with upper and lower torque box plates, stock springs on the rear, bilstein struts, strange 10 way adjustable on rear, I also have a airbag in the rear spring, 17x11 ccw d110s with a 325/45/17 M&H racemaster tire. The engine is stock with .20 manley pistons and rods, arp 2000 head studs, cnc stage 1 heads cleaned up, 76/75 BB precision turbo, hellion single kit, turbosmart boost controller, return style fore L2 kit with dual 465 pumps out back. The only thing that I havent upgraded and will need to this coming winter is to a 26 spline input shaft with Mcleoad rxt clutch. I have a stage 3+ spec right now.
I have to add I forgot I built the rear end also, I bought the car and dude said the rear was built 2 days later blew the rear end up. I pulled the cover and sure enough it was a stock 8.8. I ended up doing 3:73 ford racing gears, trutrax locker with 31 splines built straight 8.8
Shouldn't have a problem going mid 9s try the rear shocks at 4 clicks.
I have them dialed in at 5... Need to figure how much air to put in the airbag also
