it changes lanes on its own. i need to have someone take a video of me trying to steer it. i raced a 2010 gt500 last night from a 50, till about 140. i say till about cause i'm not sure what mph i let off but he let off after i caught him, passed him, and then shifted into 4th reeling out 3rd to 8100prms, which is about 124mph

Damn, I'm really interested to see the actual spool time without a slipping clutch on it. Keep us posted.

I like the spool times, but I would have to take a look at the top end more as it would be for my Integra up to about 9k. Thanks for the info though as it looks quite promising at only 14psi! I'm wondering what it would do at 20+ psi! I'll keep watching for sure!

Slowly getting there guys, this turbo really doesn't do its best till the 20psi + mark. Im going in for tune tweak thursday, when clutch is broken in. But im going to be 14psi for at least a few more months, bigger brakes and new axels are going to be a must for me going further. As far as the turbo going good till high rpms, blackbaltsw revved his 5557 journal bearing with success up to 24psi I believe with no drop off.

Got the car retuned yesterday, its really ripping now. Much quicker than with old clutch and tune. No longer crazy torque steer at 100+ mph the Team Green LSD really helps. Overall I am very happy now, car is running great, was keeping up with some sport bikes last night

I haven't redynoed it yet, but im thinking between 330-350 at 14.7 psi on pwerks mustang dyno. But you gotta remember i got a little more displacement and badass ported head lol. My buddy with an lsj put down 335 at 18 psi on same dyno. I believe you should be close or a little above that.
