Well I wanted to be safe with the timing. I have it locked at 40 degrees and pulling 1.5 degrees per pound of boost. I have been taking baby steps the whole way just to make sure I do not hurt the motor. I will play with timimg once I get the gear changed. As far as the converter you are right it is the hardest part. Luckly my buddy that does my converters was with me Saturday looking at the converter data on the computer. I am not changing 2 things at once for sure. Starting with gears. Then go back to track and look at the data again. What size tire do you run and what gear?Also what is your finish line rpm?

Our basic timing is 40 degrees initial, and it comes down by a little under 1 degree / psi so that at imaginary 26 psi there should be 20 degrees. Our gear ratio is 4.10, tires are 18.5/33 ET Streets and against the 7500 rpm limiter through the traps at 175 mph. We tried and actually succeeded to lower the converter stall about 500 rpm with oil change; went to SAE 80 wt oil in the trans. Itäs similar to John Deere Hy Gard, but thick and it worked. Of course we couldn't get everything out of the trans, so it's propably about 1/3 ATF and 1/3 SAE 80. Even with teh tightened converter we still use the same fluid, ATF only for colour. The trans internals looked good the last time it was down.

Interesting. One thing I do notice it doesnt seem to pull at the upper rpm range. My NA motors always like 7400 rpm. This flat tappet and turbo deal doesnt seem too.
Now is that because of the cam or because of timing so far retarded. Needless to say on the rev limiter by 1000ft at 7400 so needs a gear change. Question is 4.56(which I have on the shelf) or 4.30 or 4.10
I will also play with the converter next year. Nice to have a guy do my stall changes for free...

the blow through is awesome! Not one issue afr's are perfect! No intercooler I use labonte motorsports water/meth spray. Excluding motor, trans, fuel etc. Just turbo, piping work, bonnet, flanges, all the fab work for the radiator and turbo mount. About 5-6K. I kept track on everything so let me know if you want to know all

Do your research it will pay off! Make sure you follow the basics though. Fuel system is very important and also is data logging. Let me know if you have questions.

Driveablity is awesome!! I have put 600 miles on it. Drive it almost every weekend. I had CSU do it and the afr's are perfect, great cruising, PERFECT underload. I sent him a 1050 dominator I had. Cost $650 to modify mine. In my mind WELL worth the money. Zero issues!
