Looks like someone made a better mousetrap!

KROM!! Can't believe you let this one slip away.

Hi Neal! After a few hundred runs the main webbing cracked on one of my 109 builds. All forged/billet internals and 3 caps, don't think I had a girdle on this one. Probably over 700hp, ran 9.8's @ 137, 3500lbs. I think the 109 will last for awhile at higher HP, but stage II or aluminum...

Agree 100%! The only time to dyno tune is to squeeze the last ounce out of your combo, once it's right. Even then the track is where it counts. I'd rather have a car that 60ft's and runs 10.9@120 then a car that runs 11.0 @ 130mph.... Strip/Street races are won by who gets there...

I'm running a Dutt. pump and 20-50 VR1.

45psi hot idle, after a run

There are default values, but you really should calibrate the fuel/oil sensors. There is a formula in the help section. Let me know if you can't find it. I've never messed with a single EGT on an analog input, but I'm sure it's possible.

Brent, I have some if you need them. There are two sizes, which do you need and how many?

Sometimes things last a long time...sometimes they don't. ;) Spending $$$$ on the best parts/labor gives you better odds, but no guarantee. That's racing.

I run this turbo. Times in sig at 23-24 PSI.

I saw a local one do 9.x at low boost. PM me if you want to know more.

My experience..... I ran a 109 with 3 caps and a steel crank for 3 years, hundreds of 10-9 sec runs and about 1000 street miles. Eventually the main webs cracked to the point where you couldn't turn crank with the heads off. IMO caps or girdle doesn't really matter, the block is still the...

kill joy! I tried a couple 224/224 hyd rollers in one of my 3.8 builds. Some would make power to 6500, others dropped off quickly at ~5800. Ramp rates, advanced/retarded, LSA, etc... really make or break a cam. I would suggest going over the cam card with a knowledgeable engine builder...

I agree with Don. My motor is easily streetable with a "big" cam. I rev to 7200 on the track, shifting on the street at 6200 is enough to destroy the tires in 3rd. :eek: Talk to someone who builds ALOT of turbo motors, get the cam/TC matched and you'll be happy.

You sure did! C-clip eliminators don't hold up.....
