Well as soon as it hits 21psi I have to shift to 3rd because it goes through 2nd so damn fast.

 

Doesn't sound like a problem to me!!! Lol. I would try running a weaker WG spring, and a boost controller.

 

Yeah thats just a pain in the ass if you ask me, im just waiting for this clutch to go out then the boost goes up more.

 

Wait, are you built??

 

Yes.

 

Ohhhh!!!! Well then, guess its not too big of a deal then eh.

 

you know that's really not funny


anyway, i'll be rocking the vue redline to the meet. that ******* thing is a blast to drive @ speed.

 

damn, well atleast your still going man. I still hope I can make it.

 

spanky are you still running the stock clutch? how well does it hold up so far? cause i dont think ill have enough money for the turbo AND the clutch.. so i want it to be able to last a bit longer lol. Im sure i should be ok as long as i dont beast on it

 

Mine is doing good for now. I had 52,000 miles before the turbo and 1000 with and it's only slipped once when i was trying to race my dad's el camino.

 

I got to page 22 and gave up, lol I need a nap now. Too much reading!!!

 

His is an auto. Stock trans though, I am fairly certain.

 

auto, and straight stock for the moment but as with all things that will change with time. soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo got the good word from the wife and we'll be back in the shop in a week or so.

any guess' what the power's gonna be looking like @ 15psi? was gonna run off the stock w/g spring but i'm thinking i might as well throw a boost controller on there and have a ball.

 

yes run a boost controller instead of like a 1 bar spring like i am. This car is insane on 15 psi.

 

I just wanna make sure my clutch will last for a bit so I can save up to get a stage 3 clutch. And I'm probably gonna need a new tranny eventually huh?

 

How much power are you expecting to make?

 

I cant wait to push 16 PSI if not more... I'm only worried about the auto tranny holding up :/

 

from what i've read on here the auto trans can handle more power than the f23... I could be wrong tho.

 

well looks like my f23 doesnt like all the power. I think my syncros in 2nd are on there way out, its hard as hell to get in.

 

the auto trans is supposed to be able to handle 350 WTRQ. But Im having tuning issues with mine right now.

 

F23 is stout it just has weak synchros. This is coming from experience, if you can think of a way of destroying a tranny I've done it(daily driving the **** out of it, taking it to the strip and ******* it for 20 passes on slicks, you get the idea). They both have their flaws.

 

well EVENTUALLY i wanna make like 400hp. but that will be a while lol. i just figure it would be a waste of money to get stage 2 right now, then have to get stage 3 later.. so yeah lol

 

Stage 3 is just stage 2 with the extended tip turbo and bigger injectors I believe. And on the clutch issue, I drove from south Florida to North Dakota on the stock clutch and haven't had one problem yet... I won't be putting my stage 3 clutch in until I need to.

 

noo, im getting stage 2 turbo kit. i was talking about stage 3 clutch lol. for when mine goes out. probably better than getting stage 2 then replacing it with stage 3 later. waste of money..

 

ohh okay. The stage 3 is cheaper for some reason anyways haha. The stock clutch should be fine until you save up money for a stage 3. How many miles do you have on your stocker?
