To preface my commemnts, I have a B13 w/Bluebird motor and GT28RS Disco Potato, running about 14 psi and around 330WHP give or take. I just got the tranny in and have driven it maybe a week. I don't have any data regarding the strength. Maybe as time goes by.
So... damn my car is fast! The tranny gearing definitely feels short. I have a 45 mile commute and usually drive 85+, and at 85 it's turning around 4,000 RPM. Now alot of noises go away around 4k, but alot of sh*t gets louder too. The gearing is really high here. The upside is any speed above say 70, you goose the accelerator without downshifting, and the car builds max boost in a second, and you're going whereever you;re pointed. Unless you
really need to get on it there is no reason to downshift. This car will is a freeway killer up to redline (about 160 mph), but who would drive that fast anyway
.
1st and second are really low. I'm going to have to call Greg Perry and Rockwood, and learn how to drag start with a turbo car. I think short shifting it just past 40 mph, get it into third and friggin lay on it! I need one of those trick-ass boost controllers.
But all in all, it feels definitely short all over. Maybe because I spend so much time on the freeway?
Anyone wanna trade for a P11?
