What intake?

[ruthless]

The bigger cold side piping takes the turbo longer to fill which slows boost response. So I'm sure thats a big reason most turbo kits use smaller 2 1/2 piping.

LOL Wow that is just to funny!

Have someone build you a forward facing top hat for the 01 cobra intake bottom!
There was a guy on here that did just that and it looked really good!

just my .02

That's exactly what I want to do but I just haven't heard if anyone doing that!

Where could I find pics of that sir?

is that a wide band o2 in the turbo pipe?

Yes it is...

Yes but what power under the curve are you losing? We're talking about a tiny motor here. The amount of power lost is insignificant. I would understand on a big block, yea you would notice the loss in power down low.

Well, yours is a race car with an auto. If you have a street car with a stick, the Sullivan will cause added turbo lag for sure. You can make a lot more AVERAGE power with the stocker.

In for pics.

I noticed that both of the cars pictured have the upper intake spacer. Do u really think you gained anything from it?

I debated getting one myself but after doing a search I didn't find any proof that it actually made more power with or without it.

I run the spacer also, but only for the extra clearance. I have a 3" intake tube and have no problems getting it to fit. I had a 3.5" tube but the tuning was miserable at idle,so we went down to the 3".

Somehow I was still able to make 1000 hp with a shitty intake, shitty stock exhaust manifolds, and shitty journal turbos with non billet wheels.

was that with shitty gas also :shrug:

its a nice setup i like the powder coated tube. i was going to do that to mine but ive ran out of $$$. so the main focus now is to just get the damn car done and then modify it as i like later on.

Haha, no, the 1000 was on good gas.

I feel ya. Turbo cars are great when they are done, but a real pain in the ass to get right.

Didn't you used to be here in hampton roads?

No I've always lived in Georgia.

Umm...

Shitty and 1000hp don't belong in the same sentence.

I would call all components that make 1k hp at least "decent".

Whats shitty is only running a mid 10 with 1000hpoke::

Ya, that's why I put an auto in the car. The car was waaay too hard to get to leave with the stick. I also never raced it on the 1000 hp boost/tune.
Show me how much better you did with your turbo stick car.

Ya, I'm looking for an auto also... havent decided between a 4r70 or 4l80e.

My best time on low boost was a 11.20 and broken axle, the next time I smoked the clutch. Haven't been back to the track since then. Sucks going home on a trailer.

These cars are very difficult to get off the line, no doubt about that. I'm with you on swapping in an auto.
