now that is fast how you gone out run the dyno

any possible way I can get the wheel and tire spec? The wheel/tire combo here is just about exactly what I want for my 280.

@fordfan0817 here here.....my mate put 302 in an xp falcon.....that thing rocked out.....not the fastest but boy did it turn heads

instant power over psi power is best i say

[ZEEUL8TR]

Any car with a turbo lags, but lag can be minimized almost all the time.

Lets say your engine is reach of 800 HP over time, but if you take that and make it run 4-500 HP all the time, air flow is maximized and you've got the most horsepower you can from the tires to the street. You have a powerful consistent car, if you add a turbo to the mix, you just made yourself a monster. A strong engine without a turbo, makes the turbo more effiecient

@ZEEUL8TR

Its all about preference bro. Some people want to make boost instantly and have your car put you in your seat now instead of waiting 5 seconds for boost to come on with a turbo (saying that it's a car that is actually making decent boost 25-30+psi; and not a stock VW jetta with 0 lag.)

I'm planning on doing a whipple or a Kenne Bell for that massive punch that you get from them. Sure a turbo might make a few more hp, but I dont want lag.

@ZEEUL8TR That's why I use a turbo. I'm not a silly American.

[ZEEUL8TR]

Sigh... superchargers never let the engine reach its maximum potential. Silly americans.

@mys13isdirty Its alright. Not the best.

@michaeljohnjohnston If the V8 is mounted right, weight distribution won't be too bad from the stock engine, though it is heavier. Dynos are just numbers. It shows how well your tune is working for you. It isn't your real numbers, just a guide. The real test is having your driver put it on the road.

[mys13isdirty]

out of all the American V8 swaps this is the best by far i wouldn't personally do it to my 71 Z but this one is sick to say the least

[michaeljohnjohnston]

The engine produces to much for the weight of the car. If he really wants to get a good dyno run he needs to put wider rims (and tires) on the back for better traction, it will also be better for when you want to open it up on the road.
