Well keep in mind I am not hitting 15 psi on a daily basis. And if I could, I would run lower boost.

WOW! nice!!!!! tires/clutch? nice 60ft times!!!!

ILUVMY88CABRIO 03-01-2003 10:15 PM

My tires are toyos, but I'm not sure what series, I bought them 3 years ago. Their size is 225/50/15 Z rated mounted on the BBS wheels from the vert. Not sure about the clutch either, it was in the car when I bought it, but it is now pretty much toast after making 9 or 10 runs down the strip. The last few runs it was slipping real bad, but I still managed to keep the times under 14.6.

well.... better safe than sorry. one ping and you need a new engine :(

ILUVMY88CABRIO 03-01-2003 11:44 PM

Yes, I hear you there. When you blew your engine(s) you were still using the stock IC, right? I think the fact that I'm running a big IC will help out. While I was racing today it only crept up to 15 psi for maybe a second or two, and then I would shut down, because I was across the finish line. It is not like it was pegged at 15 psi the whole way down the track. The boost only gets that high while in 4th and 5th gear. It'll go up to about 11 - 12 psi untill I really get into the upper RPM range, then it slowly creeps up to 15 psi. I understand your concern, and I thank you for it, but it does not seem to be an issue with my car. Sometime this spring I'm going to try and get a little dyno time to tune it with a wide band o2 and my SAFC.
