i liked it, turbo was laggy unless you spray it.if you race it any consider a small kit mandatory 50-75 shot


full boost @4,500 or so  start spooling around 3,000 


would not use it on a driver with a stock computer.

I didn't use one part of the problem with my car.



on the n2o kit  you can usually pick up a used "wet" 5.0 mustang kit for around a couple hundred bucks.

How will the na 2.3 head work with a holset and 30 psi? I will be running methanol and maybe also nitrous for helping spool the turbo and like how much boost do you guys think i could run with 94 octane and not methanol? The cumbustion chamber will receive some porting also for bigger cc.

dunno about 30 psi but i do know you can run 22 psi on 93 octane pump gas. with total timing about 25 deg

methanol injection will reduce detonation. so you can run more boost. remember nitrous will add boost also i seen about 3-4 psi on a 50 shot

no, not with 30 psi.  with 20-25 most likely  ive ran 22 on 93 octane

unshrouding the valves will help increase combustion chamber cc
wich helps reduce compression.






on a side note for 30 psi get some head studs and a cometic head gasket or a copper gasket.  a thicker head gasket will also reduce compression.




also i ran n/a heads on both my cars with no problems. :D

So you were running a na 2.3 head on your 2.3 turbo? What head gasket did you used and did it have any porting? Also how much psi were you running? thanks I really appreciate all your help.

sounds like we're going to learn about the big bang theory here folks
It's Gumby's fault.
