Too bad the clutch won't hold much more than 425-450 hp

I will get the dims of the intercooler tomorrow.

Edit: Core exterior dims are 23 1/4" wide, 11 3/4" tall, 3" thick ... that's without end tanks

Here is another video to tie everyone over until I post an update on the oiling issue. I have pulled the turbo off the car and am in the process of rerouting the PCV system and hope to have it back together tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy this video of the car merging onto the highway (the passenger was Wade).

I betcha wade shat himself..

Is there only a stage 3+ in the car ?

FastCougar · 05-31-2008, 03:24 AM

Nope, just a plain old Stage 3 ... Stage 3+ would be better.

i know this is a stupid question b/c it will never happen, but if you just drive the car what are you getting for mpg?

Topik · 05-31-2008, 08:07 AM

i would expect he is getting around the same as me. Not boosting, you get stock gas mileage if not a little better. If your on it all the time, mid to upper teens is normal.

AndrewM6097 · 05-31-2008, 10:12 AM

i have just a 3l that i tend to get on all the time and i get about 16mpg, and at 4.07$ a gallon

gamiller · 05-31-2008, 03:13 PM

I used to get 23 MPG, but now I'm only getting 18 driving around town off boost. Joey's got me running extra rich for safety.

Trevor, let me know what you end up doing to resolve the oiling issue.

Looks like fun

Where you spinning the tires in 2nd?

wadespencer99 · 05-31-2008, 07:11 PM

In second?

I think it would spin them through 4th...lol.

Notice at the 23, 24 second mark...listen to the exhaust and watch the steering wheel...the tires broke loose...I think that was at about 80?
