Are U on the crack? Hmm lets see high compression doesn't help spool....? Why would higher cylinder pressures and a bigger bang on each ignition event not move more exhaust gasses at a higher pressure/volume not spool a turbo faster? Oh wait…….. thats right, IT WOULD! You can’t learn everything in a magazine… If you have the fuel requirements and stay out of detonation more compression will spool faster and will make more power lb for lb of boost. Esp now that he's going with e85 fuel I think he made a wise choice on the higher comp rotors. It’s not like he’s trying for a 600hp monster here…
Also I've seen gsl-se rear ends last for several seasons on 500plus hp and 600plus ft lb of torque. The trick is to use a loose stall converter and an auto trans. I'm living proof. My buick powered rx-7 ran over 300 10-11 sec runs on the factory GCL IRS rear end netting 1.6-1.8 60' times. This is with the small NA axles. Not the TII axles. I've seen guys out there with a stock NA and sticky tires breaking these rears all tohell with 150 HP!
You can’t shock the suspension by dumping clutched at 10 grand like every rotard at the track does. This leaves us all annoyed and waiting on the clean up crew! If you must use a manual, load up the car as much as possible and feather the clutch out of the hole. IMO Manuals are made for road races. Keep them off the ¼ mile strip!
Cool car BTW! lets see those dyno sheets!
