Message: [QUOTE="TyCorr, post: 1425124, member: 1451"] Thats not flag waving. Thats frustration with how obtuse people can be over something as simple as a turbo. Ive said it 6 or 7 times. Ill repeat it once more as it has not sunk in. I dont care if a gt42r outperforms a gt37 with a 1000hp methanol injected supra. It should. But basing the whole existence of this new phenomenon on the fact a 38r doesnt move air, doesnt work for towing, and is somehow to blame for heat issues is borderline ludicrous. People have blown 550+hp through stock 38rs. Gated to 36-38 psi. If you care to search Bill at php did a build thread on Jason Seays truck. Fr 7.3 with 38r and support mods. Forced inj upgrade. 250/200. The build thread even addressed the trans and other issues swapping to a 250/200. The truck did 530 something. Then live tuned to 540 something. Beings it was around the time of announcing the ww for the 38r, they were given one for the test/build. As contrary to popular belief in this thread, that setup maxed out hit 603 hp. May seem high but the baseline #s are good/low for the setup. The 1.15 non wg setup lost power and increased egts and bp (duh). The billet wheel cleaned up 30-40 hp of smoke . Granted the wheel may have been useless at 350hp towing but the point is a 600hp setup can and would tow efficiently at 400hp. Which is way more than our trucks can take in terms of axles and brakes and cooling. I dont meanyou cant tow in a tune that makes 550hp, but rather what you are actually making in realtime. [/QUOTE]
