Hi, I'm back. From my last post (a few above this one) showing 116whp. Check out what happens when you put Haltech and a F.A.S.T. 4 barrel EFI throttle body on:



I'm stoked! Love the flat, long torque plateau! =)

Nice, I think I said you had few ponies left in there. Hows it do on corners?

You were quite right!
No more bogging in corners, and is described as being easy to rotate the rear end around corners with the throttle in 1st and 2nd gear. (I haven't driven it yet) That alone should be a huge improvement on the track/auto-x, never mind the big gain in power.

108hp ,gilmer pully set, rb headers-custom exhaust, emission strip. Dunno if its been rebuilt, I forgot. But i did see a 2 hp gain in using the stock air filter.

I think Jason Fox used to own this and currently has it back unless I am mistaken....??

Fellow MN rotorhead here

put mine on dyno a few years back... since then have upgraded turbo, quick rebuild (1st one personally doing), custom self designed / machined/ welded manifold, and custom self built 3.5mandrel ss system... went away from gilmer to Atkins pulley setup... havent sorted this one out yet but the turbo on it was on a similar setup that put down 720hp at 32psi... Im only around 20psi...

video is first dyno with JD tractor turbo that came with motor I bought.... 412whp 385tq at about 20psi.. was only around a 56mm turbo... with crush bent 3inch exhaust that was a POS after making the new one haha




my build thread which I prob need to update a little
