Going from a 60mph roll, it goes to insane spinning outofcontrol instantly. Off the line, it's gonna be hard to say until I get some traction, but I swear I think it spools at about the same speed as the 60. If I can keep this same converter I will be vey happy.

I've heard mention that you can hear the ball bearings while driving....I cant. Of course, all I can hear is tire, LOL! Whats funny is that after I shut it down, I can pop the hood, walk around to the engine compartment, and still hear the turbo spining for about another 30 seconds. That thing just ROLLS! I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of numbers this turbo can produce, but I'll say right now, it's NUTS at 21psi.
Just a word of advice...theres no doubt that the tires will break loose at will but thats not exactly a recipe for long lasting rod and main bearings. I caught mine just in time. The block long smokey burnout is a lot of fun until U have to pay the machine shop bill. Im considering running around at 10lbs of boost on the street thinking that will keep me from getting stupid on the throttle again like last year. Thats a big drop from the 27lbs on alky it saw all last year .
