    MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

    Definitely a possibility. She's a hot mess at the moment. Moved it beside the lift and will start tearing it down shortly. Told Tatiana she's about to get a real education... LOL.

    Anyone here ever heard of a W72 engine option for 1980 GP?

    So are you going to buy it?!

    MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

    HPT only reads up to 16psi, the other log shows the 18psi spike. Autopsy will reveal a bunch, I am pretty systematic so I will play close attention. I just hope I didn't hurt the heads. I really want a Gen IV 4.8L. ;) If I can get the 6.0L for $500 I'll run it for now, it'll make a nice...

    For reference DA was 35-3300ish feet.

    Maybe, might have a line on a 6.0. It's good to be friendly with peeps at the track while they pour over your hurt junk. So here's a quick run down on what I do know. For reference the white log is LogWorks for the SCG-1 and has a 4 bar MAP so we can see what happens above 2 bar in HPTuners...

    MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

    Awesome. That was my interpretation. I read it after a rough night. She's hurt, engine making real bad noises. The logs don't show "a reason"; but, it definitely happened.

    I must be missing the joke here.

    Started on the rear firewall. For aluminum the rules require 0.032", I am doing 0.08". This should help stiffen the car up a touch, and reduce the potential drumming/resonance effect of thinner material.

    MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

    Yeah, sans-wastegate would definite test the physical limitations of a lot of parts - LOL. Here's something I have been playing with, and is by no means correct/accurate, but it is essentially an interpreted compressor map for the GT45. Plotting Dynamic Air Flow against the Pressure...

    To clarify we are already SD. But, otherwise, yes - you are correct and that's my plan. But, a 3 Bar MAP is just $31 and the OS change is free... so... ya know... why not?

    MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

    That's the thing. The prejudice against these turbos is that they just don't perform over a set "boost" level. As I have always maintained: boost is just a measure of restriction - the only thing that matters is mass air flow (as influenced by other factors). The turbo's job is to move air...

    MONTE CARLO "COPO" Monte Carlo SS - Turbosaurus Build (Swinging Dick Racing's c*ck got bent... she bounced a little too high & hard, & came down awkwardly)

    Ever had one of those "oh sh*t!" moments? Well tonight was one of them. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing just a lot happening very fast. As you can see below the car is making more boost... and we can assume more power. The white vertical line shows the point where the second stage (the big...

    What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2022]

    Drove the Monte to physio this afternoon because Natasha said it wasn't going rain until tonight. She was wrong. I had a puckered balloon knot the whole way back. Thank God it has functioning wipers. Also, it seems to be spooling a lot faster now. Another pucker factor.

    What did you do to your shop today?

    Pooped in it. Such a privilege to have a functional washroom a few feet away when that PCD hits you hard in the late morning.
