The 30R that could

I think maybe it's time to setup the size of the turbo a bit. I honestly don't think you'll be impressed if you did a housing/manifold change on your current turbo. You've pretty much maxed out a 30R turbine regardless of what housing.

Lol this is why I never want to put my car on a dyno. I know for sure i'd be disappointed in what it puts down and will be forever chasing numbers /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My goals for the car were to build a fun street car. I'm not chasing ETs and trap speeds, I feel like I've accomplished my original goal. After all, you don't build a Galant with a 30R when trying to turn heads and break records /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif

Shift times are an estimate through ECMLink from the time I was off the gas and back on. It was pretty consistent between the runs I logged for 3rd and 4th gear. But... we all know how bench racing goes.

Based on brianawd's power and his trap speeds (561whp, 485wtq, 11.1 131mph in the 1/4 on street tires), I suspect I would be just a hair quicker and faster if I had a tranny that would shift.

Honestly, the time and money spent to make drastic changes to this setup don't outweigh the benefits. A T3 or vband housing would require exhaust work and I'd want to build the manifold on my own so I know for a fact I won't have fitment issues and could build around my existing setup. I have access to all the resources to do so, and it's still too much damn work for the amount of free time I have. Two jobs and schooling take priority right now.
