Nope...conviently the only two who have dyno'd with a functional kit haven't posted the graph. Although both claim full boost around 3750-4000 at 9 PSI with the boost dropping after 4k due to a backpressure issue.

JoeDirtPharmD can't get his car running right. He is working with everyone here to solve the issues (fuel delivery)... as soon as that is done I am sure he will be able to provide us some APS ST graphs.

I'm not going to start bashing the APS ST.

But.. I'll definitely let you know my findings on when I hit full boost, as soon as I get my manifolds taken care of. I only have a DynoJet where I'm at so you'll just have to take my word on boost results. I won't BS when I do ge them so rest assured they will be accurate.

I'll also post dyno graphs on the dynojet before/after the header swap.

I am not bashing the Turbonetics kit either (I feel that it is adequate, definitely better than most supercharger kits), I am just raising the question of the graphs vs. the words, and drivability.

I will post this again.You can make it look like boost hits faster than it does on any load based dyno. set the car at 2800 rpm have it load up and then hit the throttle. It will spool very quickly this way. Much more than it would in first gear or any other gear under 40 mph. To compare them you have to have them on the same dyno the same day within 20 degrees temp of each other. I don't know why you are insisting on having full boost that early. If it is true that full boost comes in before 3000rpms(I'm not saying it is or isn't, I don't really care) then you are on the edge of where the stock rods are going to say bye bye. Look at a set of stock rods and you'll see what I mean. Furthermore why are you arguing this point when you don't even have firsthand knowledge(driven it daily) to even qualify your statements. Go install your kit and stop wasting your time on this board. Trust me you will be happy and have a big sh** eating grin on your face, full boost at either 3000 or 4000rpms.
