i pick up about 25 mph in the back 1/8th… just from the 2.7 60ft, to the 2.4 i picked up 4 tenths, and almost half a secong at the 330’ ---

i had my car slammed, then for the 2nd run i raised the rear up all the way, i was gonna drop the pressure to about 20psi and see if it helped, but i didnt get a chance to, my tranny disagreed with me. odd too as it shifted smooth into 2nd and 3rd. when i got on the return lane i went to put it in 2nd and i had to pull really hard on it… drove home fine, i think its either the shift tower, or the selector shaft… im gonna find out in a little bit if its the shift tower, just sucks since its fresh mt-90 and i have to drain it. ---

20psi worth of compressed air out of his turbo is a whole lot less than 20psi out of the turbo on your 3/s is it not? ---

> [@McBitchin](#): > > 20psi worth of compressed air out of his turbo is a whole lot less than 20psi out of the turbo on your 3/s is it not? The amount of air isn’t the issue but more the pressure/temp of the air. If two cars can support XPSI, then they can support Y AIR MOLECULES or Y_Y_Y AIR MOLECULES assuming the car’s supporting mods (engine/fuel system/etc…) can support it. ---

i get what you’re saying here but 15psi on turbo isnt necessarily the same amount of air being compressed out of another turbo, yes they are both compressed to 15psi but a\* turbo may compress lets say 15lph to 15psi while another turbo compresses 10lph to that same pressure, one is going to be more dense at the same pressure. What temp issues are you running into out of curiosity? and yes ofcourse you can only put as much air as you can mix with fuel and of course have the engine that can take the abuse without blowing up :lol ---

What temp issues are you running into out of curiosity? and yes ofcourse you can only put as much air as you can mix with fuel and of course have the engine that can take the abuse without blowing up :lol The amount of air molecules is meaningless though. That’s my point. If the motor can handle the power and the fuel system support, etc… then you should be happy that you can generate that much power at that boost pressure. Think of it this way: With 15Gs, I made 375AWHP at 15-16PSI. If I went to 16PSI, I started to get knock as I could not go any higher than 15PSI on 93 octane. With my current setup, I made 460AWHP (Gain of 85AWHP) at the same pressure. I cannot go too much farther (like before) before knock set in. I got a bit more because the turbo produced cooler air at the boost pressure. If I could make 650-700AWHP at 16PSI, I’d be happy as hell as I could do that at 93 octane.
