They both said that the fun factor on the street will be gone, but if you are a sandbagger or a track only kind of guy, then you NEED this kit LOL!
    I'm actually VERY impressed that a stock longblock engine spooled a T6 frame 88mm turbo like that. 1000 rwhp at 6250 RPM's on a factory engine is stupid. Only the (far superior) FGT longblock is matching that right now...

    What I find ironic, that HP graph is almost exactly the same as my eaton setup from 3-5000 RPM's. Only difference is their HP graph is concave before the crossover point while mine was convex. My car was a dog until about 3 grand anyways. The hellion stock longblock graph looks to be a dog until ~4750 RPM's.

    The torque is lacking below 5250... obviously less than an eaton car but I never got traction anyways. I'm actually really looking forward to this setup on the street. Should keep me out of trouble stoplight to stoplight (so long as the 2 step stays asleep).

    And a VT 324 is gonna spool that EE cup bitch -just a bit- faster...

    I'll post my graph for comparison ( in about 3 months...) so you can see any differences cause I know you're considering VT as well. Even though it's a 80 vs. an 88 graph it should help some folks. At least you didn't lose your engine at FFW like you thought ya might

    It will be going where the battery currently is.

    PSR is also getting a 3rd Y2K unit (an 88) for another car.

    Cool man, VT or MMR for sure. I thought I was going to lose it at FFW, but I had plenty of fuel and timing was down to 14*. Although, I didnt get to run the garbage can setting, 23psi LOL! I can assure you that wil be used at one point durring our track rental. I'm amazed on how well these stock blocks can take this type of abuse. Well, a turbo is a lot easier on it of coarse. But bottom line, it soesnt matter how much boost I run or how much money I throw at my car, "someone will always be faster". If a lot of us came to terms with this, the happier we would be with our current setups.
