I posted this on the Other Site in Dynamics section and I just wanted to share it with everyone here .. The post
This is not something I would normally post and nor will I post much of this sort of stuff, but I wanted to pass this along with another big "Thanks" to You Matt !!! These turbos are indeed wicked and were exactly what I was hoping for ..
Thursday night I finally put the DLI on the car, and Friday morning I had to make the trip to Cherry Hill NJ to pick up a pair of transfer cases I bought .. When I left the house I hit the street and set the boost controller to 25 pds for the first time ever and in third gear at 60 MPH I just pushed the pedal down and was looking at the ARM1 on the ARC, and when the car hit boost around say 80ish, maybe 85 and she broke loose on the stock chromies and cheap Sumitomo HTR's I have on her right now .. I have to say I was so surprised that I had to slow the car back down to 50 MPH and do it all again just to make sure it did what I thought it did :p and yes, its confirmed .. 25pds of boost will break the car loose at 75-85 MPH ..
Sooooo, today I was heading down the highway when I came through a EZpass booth and ran right into what I think was three 1000cc bikes .. Might have been one 750 in there as well as I just didnt pay all that much attention to each individual bike .. Anyway they were just getting through the toll booth and they took off in a merge lane and I took off right behind them just following them and getting the car up the street out of the many toll booth lanes of traffic .. Really no other intentions, just trying to get home .. Normal BS .. Well as it played out I ended up right there behind them, and just about the time I let off a little they went around a car and we were seperated .. Now no serious racing in mind here but about a mile further down the road they had gotten over in a lane and I guess were wondering what car was behind them or whatever, so I just cruised by them at around 70 or so and there happened to be a car behind me blocking them from chasing me if they even wanted too .. So anyway as I got around 150 ft ahead of them or so I looked in the rear view and things cleared up and here they came .. So at seventy as one got just in front of me about 15 feet and one was just equal with the drivers side door I hit third and off we went .. I actually had to let off the pedal just a hair because I halved the distance to the bike in front of me when I hit hard boost and the bike on the side didnt move a inch throughout the entire gear .. It was just like we were sitting still .. I didnt even bother to get into fourth and I havent even messed with that gear yet .. Car is stock weight and today I had a half tank of gas and a passenger as well ..
