Had the powerglide serviced and checked today. It's been really good, no issues but it's done nearly 1000kms since we built it so thought it would be worth being check. All good, looks healthy. It's catch can is empty and there's no leaks anywhere.

Finally got a dyno sheet printed out haha, torque drops pretty quickly towards to high rpm but apparently due to turbo not keeping up.20200702_131909.jpg20200702_131621.jpg500d4f14ac13c4e7f11abf7e574f280c.jpg

If its the factory turbo and not the baby FG one, it wont be the turbo holding it back. Shows a nice 20psi constant.  It will be the 2 speed box and converter affecting the torque.

It drops to 17psi, you can see it start dropping off at about 4500rpm


It's a GCG built Garrett GT3582R

I've been looking at the BW S300SXE 91/80 with 1.00ar rear housing

You dont need to change the turbo.   You are making good power at 20psi.  The graph just reflects you gearbox  and torque convertor

Moved house last week, new house has a bar/recreation room and a workshop attached to the garage. Pretty neat setup

Also picked up a trailer for drag week next year for $180, done bearings and changed the wheel hubs to suit Ford wheels. Got rid of the rust and gave her a paint job.

Finally got the windows tinted, only taken 5 years. Changed the front bar to a BA XR6 as I had damaged my old BF one, I like the BA look better. Moved the trans cooler to where the washer bottle normally sits.

Moved the haltechs data port to inside the car to make life a bit easier.

Need to find some decent wheels so I can have some wider rubber on the rear. Can't accelerate too quickly on the street otherwise it spins the tires when the converter locks up. Fun but useless lol cb3cc1f162f63b8f36f2a8152fa6661f.jpg7b1aa27694757faf490d56c90099f790.jpg
