My first loss with the Paxton! Boost vs boost. Gopro video.

[FiveSlow]

Well I only have a few races under my belt with the basic Paxton setup and I got killed by a fully built LT1 with a 75mm turbo. Now I want to gate my system on a 10psi spring with the max flow bov. I'm tuned on 93 but run a mix to 96 every tank..car has MMR oil pump gears. What are your thoughts?

Good race, your car sounds great

 

[Joey8]

Damn man your car moves out but that LT1 jesus. No disrespect at all but god that thing is a rocket. Good race none the less.

What rpm are you shifting at 7500?

 

[brandon_s0854]

Good run man. I can see why you haven't lost till now. Your car runs good. There will always be some one faster than you. Lol

OP what are your mods besides the Paxton?

Just run a 3.6 pulley on E85 and you won't get pulled on so bad.....

I made 700rwhp when I had my paxton with that set-up, here's a vid of how hard it pulled.

That's bad ass. I want to run e85 and the 3.6 pulley on my vortech

 

[Troponin]

Hard to beat those larger displaced engines with turbos.

I am really curious about these E85 tunes though. Can you do them with with a NA? How much of an advantage is it over a 93?

 

[Justin81]

That was a good old fashion Ass whooping! Do you know the guy? Has he ran that car at the track?

That race makes me mad I got rid of my MMR Built 2V 5.0 GT with a Hellion single Billet 76 and Th-400. It pulled like that car.

I don't know the guy it was at Automotion which is like the Midwest version of TX2k14 or the closest thing we have anyway. I really want to pulley down to the 3.33 with a waste gate, anyone running this that could chime in would be great! In that race 2-3 I shifted at 7100, 3-4 I shifted at about 7300, and I think I went into 5th around 7500 or around. Stock manifold peaks at 7200.

Full mod list:
Dss alum driveshaft, BMR lca, white line trans mount modded, Barton 2 post bracket, 170* tstat, 18" Amrs 275's up front 305's out back. Beefcake special, id1000's, 17v bap. Jegs cat deletes, flowmaster outlaw catback, airade cone filter. MMR oil pump gears. That's about it. Stock headers, stock intake ect.

 

[bam2012@TBR]

I run 3.15 pulley with 11.7 spring on corn. Went from 3.6 pulley to the 3.15 with wastegate. Highly recommended!

 

[FiveSlow]

Do you have a boss? How are you running that much boost on a stock engine?! That's got to be over 700 with e-85?! I'm scared to boost it that much, I'm going to cap it at 10psi.

 

[Black11gt]

cant take anything away from you or the car on that race. your car runs well & you drive it well. Just happened to race a very quick car.

 

[SVTORANGE]

Good run

Maybe get that thing breathing a little better would help you rather than increasing boost?

 

[FiveSlow]

Thanks guys!


I would put some long tubes on it but it makes more sense to gate it. I'm not really adding more boost by going to a gate it's just going to comeon sooner. Instead of peaking at 10psi right when I shift and having around 4-5psi on the initial hit, I'll have more like 8-9psi on the hit. It's almost 100hp/tq difference off the hit if you get what I'm saying. Long tubes would be great but the stock ones flow plenty for my boost levels. If I was built I'd buy them but for now I'm looking elsewhere for power. My mt-82 seems to be fine since I made some changes to it so I have funds tucked away incase that let's go. Headers will come eventually but I think a gated setup would be better for now.
I'm also not really a fan of the boss mani since I don't rev it to the moon. I don't want to loose any TQ for useless peak numbers.

 

[2004TBV]

OP, your car is nasty! Love it!

 

[blackbeast12]

You know turbos make more power and torque when the boost levels are equal! A turbo coyote would eat that lt1 for breakfast!

That is true! But at my level it doesn't matter because the stock motor can only handle so much regardless of the boost level.
