I keep wanting these huge ------- turbos that barely fit; HX35, HE351W, S362, S372. ---- it. I'm throwing a divided housing on the T67 and running it, it weighs about 15 lbs and is the size of a normal turbo.

Re: JD's assault on a 50+ mpg daily driver.
JD, can I kick you in the gonads?
---- it I will if you drop a tranny to replace a .702 5th for .694!
3000 rpm in 5th with 23" tires and .702 5th = 68.83 mph
3000 rpm in 5th with 23" tires and .694 5th = 69.62 mph
I fart more than that!

If your still gonna tune harry's car tonight, make sure he turns the boost controller all the way to the nig-nog setting. Nothing else will suffice.

Re: JD's assault on a 50+ mpg daily driver.
Those pile of **** stock cams are going to make the engine knock at the 325 whp range, on pumpgas. The boost controller gets turned to "merely sufficient" and no further until the cams are swapped out.

Re: JD's assault on a 50+ mpg daily driver.
I have 137 miles on the setup so far. A good part of that is accel/decel in gear to seat rings, but I also took a nice, luxurious cruise to Shadyside Dragway today to babysit a car.
I calc'd my mileage, says I'm getting 40.1 mpg. Haha. I'm going to get some time on a loading dyno next month so I can work out my ignition maps, and I'm also looking into a hydrogen conversionwater injection for lower bsfc aka efficiency.
