One of my new favorite sleepers
Full Build HERE
First a little back story:
The car is my 79 zephyr street car that has the following for a combination:
370CID iron block
Ported 317 heads
Fast 90mm intake
Edelbrock 90mm throttle body
Truck manifold twin kit
Custom Air/Air
3350lbs
275 drag radials
The old set up was twin master power t70s and the best the car ran was 8.62@159 with a 1.34 60 ft on 22psi/17-18* timing @ sea level.
I took the car out this past weekend after making a few changes including going to magnum performance 76mms(journal bearing) and even with BRUTAL 60 fts the car performed very well:
[email protected] and [email protected] with a 1.44 60 ft :nod: but the impressive part is it did this on only 17.5psi and 16.5* timing and at an elevation of 2500 ft and a DA of 3700-3800ft.
So far these turbos are kicking some serious ass for a budget unit! I am quite sure once I turn the boost up and get the 60 ft back where it was the car is going to run some strong numbers. There was some other changes to the car which will effect et and 60 ft but the mph speaks for itself!
Big thanks goes out to Robert from modular turbo for hooking me up with some good units that make serious power and dont break the bank!
Thanks for all the kind words guys..... Here is some pics, The outside hasnt changed any but the interior is a bit different since I ditched the floor shift and went back to a column shift LOL
The engine combo is as follows:
Lq9 block/crank
Stock 317 casting heads ported with stainless valves
Callies H beam rods
Diamond forged pistons
Custom grind bullet turbo cam
Fast90mm intake
Edelbrock 90mm throttle body
Custom Air/Air intercooler
These runs were made on c16 but the car has went 9.0@155 on straight pump gas as well,I just run the c16 as a safety blanket.
