Rob,

Question - what is the static cr?

and...

Do you run at Brainerd? I'm hoping to run the Real Street class this year if I can get the new motor sorted out. My brother ran it last year. Maybe I'll see you there?

We can have a Roots versus Turbo race... You should have me covered easy

it has 8.5 -1 compression. i havent ran at brainerd but i would like to get up there if i get my car sorted out this summer. lots of work to do still.

i am up in brainerd every year for the nationals though. cant miss that

[Torment]

thanks and good luck.

Does the engine have oil return lines in the heads down to the pan?.
E heads are known to keep most of a quart of oil in them.
A engine like this should have 1/4"-3/8ths" return lines back down to the pan.

it made 749 hp and 943 tq at 12 psi. with some more timing we got the tq to 1043 and hp to 882. then we added some more boost. at 15 psi it made 961 hp and 1149 tq. ****! how am i gonna hook that?

i want to give thanks to frank and bob, kevin , marcel and dave, and turbo dave for all the good parts and help. and to all the py guys for the input and nice comments

oh yeah and tom vaught wins the award for the closest hp guess. well its not really a guess when you know how to figure it out lol.

Has anybody done a step by step, "Here's how I built my turbo setup" for the traditional Pontiac v-8 on this board?

Well, I bet a lot of people here would find it interesting reading.

I built this last winter for around 2k, It's a blast to drive and makes more power than I can hook-up on the street.
