Current:
here is my combo that i have so far I have a 160F Thermostat, Adjustable Wastegate, Adjustable regulator, xp fuel pump(340), 26"x10"x15" Micky Thompson slicks, larger rear brake cylinders, TE44, blue top injectors, THDP 3’’ with cutout, TCS Billet Aluminum 9X11 3000 RPM, with a Trans Brake. So far i went 12.44 at 107 at woodburn.

Alright my goal is to get into the 11.5 at 3500ft of elevation. Also soon or later im going to purchase the iron ported heads from champion and get the intake ported for matched fit. Im also going to be getting a 206/206 cam. But in the mean time im going to purchase a PTE front mount, and I would also like to go with some bigger injectors, but dont know the size, But i really want to go bigger with a turbo. With my current setup would i be able to run like a pt 66 or 67, with what size injectors. If anyone could give me some help that would be great. Or what is the largest turbo i should go with a 3000 stall and a trans brake.

Thanks chris

Boy we like spending money :rock: You haven't gotten close to what your combo is capable of yet.... why upgrade? I ran your times with all stock stuff including turbo and injectors. With what you have now many people have went past 11.5. One of my best friends went 11.36@118 MPH with the same basic setup. Do you have a roll-bar and five point harness for going 11's? You can get there with what you have easily. Get a decent race chip, C-16 gas, slicks, set the boost to 24 PSI and hold on. Respond back if you wouldn't be happy with this with some thoughts and maybe it will give people reading it some thoughts on what turbo direction to send you. :top:

did you note the altitude? 3500 feet? I would think his combo might not carry him as far as someone at sea level.

I didn't think altitude was a factor with forced induction cars. Since the air is less dense, can't you just turn the boost up more to flow the same mass of air? Doesn't the MAF take care of altitude changes? Is the CFM rating of turbos in ACFM or SCFM? Or do you need a larger turbo because the air is less dense?

i think you need bigger injectors and bigger intercoler

altitude is not AS MUCH of a factor in forced induction cars. They will not slow down as much as an NA car, but they WILL slow down.

NHRA says the correction factor for a turbo car is half of what it is for an N/A car.

As for running it to it's potential, you still aren't close. Read my sig and realize I did it with little traction and at 3,075ft. With a 1.6 60' it should have been around ~12.3 so you still have a ways to go with what is on your car. Get to tuning before wasting your money on parts you don't need. You should be able to at least run around 11.7@116 before giving up on the current combo (probably even faster if your patient)
