So the procharger side has another notch in its belt in more ways than one that day; reliability.

Anything built properly will be reliable.

Better bump it up to 25 lbs and let it eat. You think you'll be around 8.50-8-60's at that boost level?

It's hard for me to guess how fast it's gonna be. 9.40-9.50 seemed to be good on 15 lbs and then it was solidly in the 9.teens on 17. Although don't look too much into that as we were getting a very good handle on the 60' at 17. I would not have been surprised to see a 9.30 on 15 psi. I do think it'll be in the 8's at 20+ psi though.

Regardless, if Flaco can get a handle on his old truck and they can repeat their 8.00's one could be sure I won't have anything for that........as for going rounds, mine seems pretty reliable at the moment.

well do you blame the turbo guys for putting a target on your back after that thread you made .. LOL . i think its cool, keeps competition alive and thats what breeds innovation and to push for bigger and better. as far as reliability thats a joke at these power levels that these guys are running i dont care how well it was built specially if your at the track every weekend beating on it on full kill.

17 psi is a far cry from "full kill" lol

...and no I don't blame them. Whether it was me or someone else, I could care less, but it's about time somebody put this turbo **** in check. It should be a fun and friendly rivalry.
