now for the terrible run

r/t .350
60' 2.43
330 6.63
1/8 9.90
mph 76.73
1000 12.69
1/4 15.03
mph 97.97

ahhhhh ok so the turbine and housing are way to big for a unported head cause i don't get full boost till almost 5k in 1st gear but all other gears like upper 3k lower 4k. slipped it out at about 4k and bogged to 3k and don't get full boost till like 60'. guess i have to just dump it at like 5k
i thought ide gain at least 5 mph with this turbo but its still the same. why besides the launch. im so dissapointed, thought ide been in the high 13's at like 103. im about to just give up.

give me some feedback please besides my shitty launching.

best I know to tell you is try, try again. Your setup probably needs a bit more tuning, and you probably need a bit more practice with your new setup.

and yes, your launch can use some work. ;) just in your 60' time you should be able to knock .4 off your time pretty easily.

Your going thru what I went thru for a year. Your setup needs tuning. That turbo is half your problem. I would get an adjustable cam sprocket and advance the cam timing to help spool the turbo. Play with ignition timing etc. One bad run is only the beginning. As Clay said, drop .4 off your 60ft's and your in the mid 14's.
You didn't mention what cam you had. Also, your higher compression on your older motor would have helped alot.

Yep, sounds about right. Chris R. had the same problem with his turbo and had to switch back to a smaller housing and trim.
