    Go ahead, do it, don't be a sissy, turn the boost way way up, shoot video, I'll also make smart ass comments after it pops.......again...... because you were trying to half ass it
    Pretty sure I've driven my car more than damn near anyone else in this FI section in the last year and that is counting time down for a motor build and swap. I haven't half assed anything. I didn't do rods because I couldn't afford it. I am not jumping right into big injectors and pumps cause I can't afford it. And even so, I have put damn near 20k miles on my car in the last year.

    It is insulting to call anything I have done half assed considering I have spent 1/5 of what a lot of people in this section have on their builds, make damn good power, and drive my car more than just about anyone else in this section.

    Glad I don't have that type of competition locally. If I did, I would probably have 1000+ now. But, here in NH 400 wheel would be king of the street. If it wasn't for Phil roaming the streets on the prowl, I'd still have a SCer and much more money and time. So, when I lose my house cause my engine is more important, and you guys see me begging on the streets blame him.

    Not sure i see the difference if hes on 10psi or 40psi with that mentality. 99.99% in the cars in here dont monitor fuel pressure, and for the guys that do, it means nothing because they are on a stock ecu.

    Yes it will. The combustion impulses are what effectively break stuff.

    500wtq is an average. You have "peaks" that are much higher..

    The way an autotrans converts energy it smoothes these pulses.

    Pretty half-assed, which makes it at LEAST a quarter assed too nice for me.

    I don't doubt that is true to some extent, but I was kind of thinking that the harsh shockwaves from banging gears are what is hardest on driveline components. Footbrake launched autos have everything nicely preloaded, and pretty much keep the loading sort of smooth through shifts (kind of.. maybe "consistent" is closer to correct terminology).

    Thanks.
    It's held together with twelve rolls of duct tape, 5 packs of zip ties, and three sticks of bubble gum. The wheels are held on with 2 lugs each because I lost the other 12 and can't afford new ones.

    Also here is a video of my shitting on three different supercharged 5.0s.
    The loud AF one is making 690-700whp
    The silver one I gapped is making 550whp
    And the last one is making 650whp

    This was from Sunday. Shitting all over these bald eagles XD. All these runs I had a passenger and nobody else did.

    3/4 is a little high.
    I prefer 9/16 assed.
