Don't let this mess persuade you all either way, Ive spent a lot of money on parts that certain vendors said would work but came up short in the long run.

My Advice if you want a turbo buy an on3 and don't waste your money on this other ****. How the **** does a 2K turbo only made 700hp on a motor setup for 1000RWHP?

So my question is where do I go from here? ive not reached my goal with this car HP wise but have track wise. Could my converter be messed up causing this Chaos?

Need to take the car to the track and see how it runs.

Been sitting here thinking about selling my Trans and going manual. I think I'm going to sell the whole setup including MVB, New Converter all the switches for lockup, OD and even my shifter.

With that being said I am assuming il be looking for a T56? who sells a manual trans that will hold down some power?

That sucks Pate. I have no input. I hate dynos...I go by trap speed now.

Good luck. I hope you figure it out.

Ill try trap speed then this time to see if it improved, I got one more chance on AUG 2nd to use the track and after that it shits down to folks like me.

I'd give it one more shot at the track and see how it runs. If I wasn't deploying in a few months is be all over your auto setup! I wanna take my t56 out at some point.

This is a good calculator. It shows flywheel horse power.

Ide probably trade you my entire setup for yours Ive got an absurd amount of money in the trans converter setup.

That is so tempting man. I know how quickly a built auto setup can run. I was looking into it before my oil pump went out.

That's pretty good Its shows my 121 trap speed at 498hp and I know it was making 523 at the dyno on a good day so with the heat soak ide say it was around 500hp.

On my 134 its saying 676 which I couldn't tell you how much I make on 16PSI but that's what I pulled it off with.

This dyno is OLD it doesn't even log AFR so I probally shouldn't take it with a grain of salt.

Well I'm not really a track person I go once in a while but mainly like to street drive. mine is a FMVB with OD and Lockup. got a 1 piece billet shaft and built to handle the power.

That's pretty much the setup I want haha my car is for racing street and will eventually get around to making it to the track every few weeks after deployment. I've got my built t56, McLeod RST with only 500 miles on it, aluminum driveshaft, and mgw shifter.

This one should be pretty cool. It'll be a deployment with some prett sweet perdiem. And it's only 6 months so it won't be to bad. But will do man. Thanks. And if you decide for sure you want to go the t56 route let me know. I may just keep the car down a little while longer for the right swap.

It has been an exceptionally hot summer this year up in the 90's with over80 precent humidity which is hard on a car. This heat exposed a weak spot in my fuel system where my fuel was getting ridiculously hot after a good drive.

So to fix this i went from the traditional return to a dead head style fuel setup. Ill be trying this out this week after the 410 gear swap ill be doing Wednesday night. Also during this process I found that my Waste gate wiring harness was burned in two so apparently my BC hasn't been working. Im sure this has had to impact the way my car came into boost.
