Who owns/runs that place

Who owns/runs that place

Not positive but I believe Alex the Tuner is a part owner. He deals strictly with the tuning aspect of the shop. The repair portion is run by another person. Alex is really good, he responds to emails in a timely fashion and will tell you what he's done and what to expect.

Yup, but my power is from just over 2k rpm to redline

This was also after an hour and a half drive in humid 95 degree weather and car sat for 15 minutes before going on the dyno. Sure it's more power on a cool day when not driven there. Not about the numbers only for the tune as this is a newly built engine as the original engine blew a headgasket and had cracks in the lifter valley

Here we go, it's whatever that person likes or wants...this is a kenne bell post/ topic, not procharger, turbo or nitrous. There will always be someone faster. I don't care, if I wanted to throw a bunch of money into a block with forged internals, turbo, fuel system etc. I would. But I don't need that, I'm happy with what it is, no car payment, no credit card debt and a car that's fun to drive. None of these are mkiv supras and you most likely aren't going to get anywhere close to the money you put into the car out of it when you sell it. Just stated a fact and you get butt hurt, unreal.

I just want to ask every one on the forum a question ,with a 94 to 95 with the 5.0 still in it
If the kenne bell super chargers were in production still and you could get one , would you get one

I had this same question. Ken Bell, procharger, vortec, or just go turbocharged…

 

[RAU03MACH]

I do not have mine on the 5.0
the one I do have on 4.6 DOHC mod max block is set up for 465 horse at the wheels
I haven't changed the pulley yet I'm planning later and that pully will put it at 480-490
I have the 3in on it now

 

[RAU03MACH]

for a 5.8 I would like to get one
I have not seen those in a while
I would have to get a Wiand blower

 

[RAU03MACH]

i will also say that if your going to do it , get the 4.6 DOHC
it flows way better than the 5.0 , the ones for 50 seem to be restrictive
i drove a friends and it feels like something is holding it back

 

[RAU03MACH]

Need more boost with that combo. The kb is holding ya back.

agree drove another with the 5.0 not to long ago hold back is a problem on some

Having a 2v turbo car. I can't say I would recommend the turbo unless it's a dedicated drag car or you are racing.. a lot! Like a lot a lot.. If i could snap my fingers right now and have a blower setup(which would inevitably be slower) I would. Wouldn't even split hairs on centri vs twin screw either. Just get tired of messing around with it. Blowers you just kind of slap them on, Tune it and go. Maybe have the occasional belt issue on a centri and that's it.

Also turbo systems just don't hold value like a blower does. You can pretty much sell a used blower for just about what you bought a used blower for. Turbo kits tank in the depreciation department.

Current build is pretty much track only focused. But I like the idea of “slapping a blower on” lol. That is kind of where my head is now, but I know turbo in the end would do me more justice.
