4.3 turbo sunbird

[shoebox1.1]

well i got some carb issues worked out and upped the timing. for the 1st time ive actually got good WOT numbers and i made a full throttle 2-3 pull. THIS THING IS FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not fast like 9seconds etc but for a lil guy like me its ballistic! ive rode in a 550rwhp/590rwtq fox turbo car that ran some 9.90 136 passes and its not there yet but the "seat of the pants" is very similiar. i had to get out of it cause full boost (whatever it is right now) in the top of 2nd BOILS the hides and keeps spinning into 3rd as far as i want to go! granted im on regular radials (235/60/15). at this point im 29total locked out, should be 5psi (was the one time ive gotten to look at it) and 11.2-6 WOT AFR. so im at least safe now to look at the boost and fuel pressure. 2years of hard work JUST PAID IN FULL TODAY. thank you to everyone on here!! i need tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Just because you get slicks doesnt mean that beast will be safer....lol.

Great looking car and awesome and inspiring progress. I cant wait for that same day to come for me.

PS: Youve got that giant compressor on there and only 5 PSI?

[NixVegaGT]

Hell yeah, Bro. I'm feelin' ya there. Good stuff. Keep typing.

well my thoughts were if it has traction it should have more forward motion. heck at least in higher gears i would think. yeah the 5 psi is the spring in the gate. a manual controller up to 10 or so is in the works. i want to optimise the 5lbs now learn how to drive the car.

[Sirshredalot]

I wasnt flaming the 5 PSI man,....thats 5PSI more than I have...lol....
I just re-read my post and it sounded rude...wasnt my intention.

my carb setup is proving to be difficult and expensive. i have no idea what manifold you should run
