11.8-1 a/f ratio, dead on.

22deg of timing wich might be a bit high, not sure if that will cause a hot header or not.

the header got nearly that red on my 6.0 and my plugs always looked great. my pistons looked good too other than the one the nitrous took out.

Sam from Cmotorsports is talking to a few people. everyone agrees a t76 is too small to be ideal especialy on the exhaust side for this motor. i think it is all just a matter of exhaust presure. i am going to hook up a presure gauge to the header just to see where it is at. sam is looking into a more free flowing exhaust side. his new kits will have a 3.5" down pipe option and he is going to send me one of those prety soon.

i see soo many things here that are holding back large amounts of hp BUT it still runs crazy fast , i am amazed.

probably leave this one or see if i can get something like that gts for now. anything else will probably require redoing my entire turbo set up and i am not ready for that. i would like to run something like twin 66's or a big thumper someday, maybe next winter.

Twins would be sick bro. I hope all the little bugs get worked out and you get that beast in the low 10's .

I think a T88 would do the trick. A 92 would definatly do it, and both of them you can get with standard T4 flanges. Only thing on your kit you will have to change would be the compressor tube and down pipe. I'll look into a few links and post them up for you a little later.

Dont go twins, its been done and one large single is better.
