If I was doing something wrong my car would not be alive while pushing 400 whp on a stock motor. The truth of the matter is you clearly don't know what your talking about. Your "little 50 trim" would not come close to the power I made on the dyno I used. Do you make more power than me? or are you geussing? 40whp from an intake?!?!? What a noobish idea to think! Do you know anything about the manifold that I'm running? Do you know when a 35r is most efficient?
I could make 650 whp and people would still say I should make more. I could get down to a happy dyno and put down 500whp if i wanted but it still wouldn't matter because the fact is, everyone who thinks the car isn't properly built or tuned doesn't have a faster car than me. If you really want to compare go by my trap's. With 40 less hp I trapped 118.5 going through on the limiter.

I also didn't say you WOULD gain 40whp from switching Intake Mani's... just that you could gain UP TO 40whp by switching to a more efficient Intake Manifold that won't heat soak as much. A sheetmetal intake WILL help with top end power.
Sure, I got ahead of myself throwing numbers out and all that without knowing how that dyno puts out its numbers. I've seen dyno's be off by 40-50whp before... but never as much as 100whp. I know it can easily be done by playing with the settings. Either way, I still stand by my statement of 410whp being weksos for 25psi on a 35R.

You would pick up HP by switching to a Sheetmetal intake, without a doubt. I'd bet on gains as much as 40whp. Our current COTM had a sheetmetal intake for sale not too long ago, iirc.
For a GT35R, you really aren't making all that much power. I don't know what you're doing wrong... but that is a large turbo that should easily have you around 500whp, not 400whp. ESPECIALLY, if you're pushing 25psi. That's friggin laughable, to be honest. What kind of A/R do you have on that thing? My little 50trim will make more than 410whp @ 25psi. And I'd put money on that. A large amount of money.
Not hating, just sayin'... you're doing something wrong.
If you are reaching full boost at 4500rpm on a GT30... something is wrong. We're not talking about 1st or 2nd gear either. In 3rd or 4th gear on a GT30... you should probably be hitting full boost around 3500rpm, I'd say. My shitty Journal Bearing 50trim hits full boost at like 3800.

Haha... okay. 4k sounds right. I know what you mean, too. It was quite a while before I was able to watch my Tach.

and that intake manifold is a Turbo intake manifold out of a saab. im running that same thing, it works great. and for only 100 bucks you cant go wrong. i wound NEVER spend like 600 or however much they want for that hahn one, i dont think its thats much better than the saab one

35 psi on stock motor? Good idea bonehead! lol. He probably has to pedal it to hook up as it is, WTF would be the point of searching for more power? So he can buy tires twice as often? This site makes me laugh!!!

you thorw timing and race fuel in that car, we were saying around 525.

so 400 whp on 25 psi is supposed to be impressive? low reading dyno or not.. like i said in your last thread.. that turbo was a waste.. you could've had a faster spool and more power at less psi with a correctly sized turbo..

Is 252 whp impressive?!?!? If you knew about the turbo I'm using you would know it's just barely working. As far as making more power with another, do it. Would it make any kind of sense to push the motor further as it sits?
Making more power is a foolish idea at this point because motor is on the edge. Frankley I'll take advice on turbo sizing and how much power I should make by people who have done it instead of people who think they know what they are talking about.
But sure, I could have made more with a 30R at these boost levels but when the motor is built and i crank it up to 30 psi the 35 will leave most others in the dust.
