This gives me full boost from 3,500 to redline, where a S/C is set up to ramp up all the way to redline (boost level contingent on RPM's). That's a big range on the tach that is not at full boost with an S/C. I'm not a big tech geek on S/C's since I never owned one but this is the way it's been explained to me by many that have.


your right, but regardless if you have a turbo rated for 1300hp, the thing is so damn big that it dont matter how high of a stall converter you got, your still not gonna see boost till higher RPMs, but once you do hit the boost, hold the eff on!
