I have to agree with you on this they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Nether is better then the other they are quite simply different.

Sweet. Keep the build. I may think you are crazy for using that big of a turbo, but I want to see it fully tuned and see some numbers.

maybe its time you admit you don't know as much as you claim about tuning and modifying dan?!?! just a thought, but 2 motors, a ugly ugly hack job of a turbo set up and average #'s just isnt gonna cut the cheese anymore. You tried and failed, fix it, and get someone who knows what they are doing to finish it.

Ah, the only people that who are on these forums regularly, banned or not, that have an ecotec that dynoed more than dan's are members on a private forum.

I don't think you are any of them.

I honestly don't care who you are but I'm going to take a guess you still run 13s and have never turned a head bolt on these cars. Amirite?

So, I was right on with those 13s?

BTW, excuse my crankiness Matty, I just got off work and have nothing to drink but two skunked Iron Citys.

Hopefully HPTuners decodes the rest of the LNF PCM and you can see what that car will do.

I **** with him too.

Biggest thing is, everything he's doing is just part of the final project. The turbo he chose was because of the high pressure ratio it supports. While it may run shitty now, once the bottom end is done and he is where he wants to be with engine management, it will all come together.

Next one that he nukes will be my fault, that longblock comes here for some lovin before it goes back into the redline. Dan hasn't quite perfected the drunken engine building like I have.

That might not be the case. A guy here in AZ with just intense stage 3, intake, and exhaust, threw a rod! Thats it, 2.9" pulley, intake and exhaust, and it throws a fricken rod!?!? GM really did a good job of ruining the Ecotecs reputation. Yeah when its fully built it handles 1000+ hp, but in stock form, it blows up with even minor bolt ons!!!
