Re: The Black Beast

^^ Exactly why I switched to it. I figured with my cams, intake manifold and external wastegate, I should be able to hold boost better in the upper RPM ranges. So far it's rock solid at 20 psi to redline. I don't really wanna go much higher than that til I get tuned on e-85 though, since every now and then I'll get a little knock in 3rd gear. I really need to get a damn laptop... haha

That, and it's much easier to drive around town now. If I wanna go around someone quickly, I don't need to downshift since I can hit 20 psi in 5th gear at about 3300 rpm, which puts me at about 70 mph and pulling hard. Judging by the butt dyno, it feels like it's pulling about 90% as hard as the 3076 was, but now it just starts at a lower rpm. The only thing I miss about that turbo is the way it sounded when it spooled up. haha
