I took my car to the local 1/8th mile track this weekend after bolting on the new turbo (71GTQ) and decided to get a baseline run in.
I wanted to see what it would do in pure street trim.. the way I drive it on the street. No alky or octane boosters. Tuned rich and with zero knock.
I do not have a matching converter, so I knew the ET would be pretty terrible since I could only foot brake to about 3 psi.
anyways my first run was right off the street with just a 20 min cool down, (no ice, just popped the hood)
and she went a LAZY 2.17 60ft but at about the 60' the car started MOVING... and it ended up doing my new personal best pump gas MPH of 101.17mph!!!!
I love this new turbo...just need a converter to match now.
I am excited and think that leaving with abot 10 -15 psi I can get that MPH # up a couple more mph in street trim.
on a side note... I am starting to think that the stock unported throttle body is starting to become a restriction...is there any data on what a stock TB is good for and when does it start to become a bottleneck?
