Nice Mike,

How does this compare to your old 850 setup on the 3.5L motor?

Hi Tom.....The 850bb/3.5L boost came on and pulled forever...but high boost needed the Meth.

I have not driven this setup as yet ...but from what Sharif is saying to me...I may not use the Meth again for street driving

I will be able to give you an exact difference in a week.....

Dont forget that redline is 7500 or 7600 rpms......I am thinking with a proper tune and him running it to redline we will get much more at 11 psi....Sharifs numbers were correct from what I see so far by going with the C8/Gt35r.......Do you think the heads are helping anything at this low level boost?? I was using the 18G comparison also....and what PSI it would take for an 18g to reach 530whp coming out of FP...

Damn, late to the party again...IIRC my car hit near that at 13psi when it left Forged-3.5L, 18G, no headwork. It now would do more at 13psi considering the hp per psi gains when I switched tuners.

Base numbers look good, but dont tell us anything IMO regarding what you will end up with. Its all about how far Sharif will push it in the end.

I really dont want to push the limits of the Carbonetics clutch...because i refuse to change it for a NON streetable setup. I have spoken to the people that knows this clutch setup....and they feel that I will be at the edge. So their guess is Sharif will runout of clutch before he would ever see the limits of this setup.

I have driven cars with clutch that are made to hold 1200+ whp...and they are no way made for the street....I love the carbonetics and I will not change it....so I keep my fingers crossed.

Well clutches are actually rated in TQ......gosh mike, you know that.

Ha but this one (DXD Southbend Stage V full-face disc), was rated to 690tq (thats flywheel tq)....

I know I made 530rwhp and 530rwtq at 14psi, but spent most time at 17psi on pump which is like 590-600rwhp and rwtq.......so assume 15% loss and thats 705tq on pump.....and I ran 30psi of boost on racegas, um......a bunch lol (that was closer to 900 flywheel tq lol)

so I definately got my money's worth out of a $500 clutch!!!!!

Yeah ...thats the one I have......Its the best clutch I have used to date. Lots of grab...but still streetable.....You will love it. Just make sure you match the revs when down shifting....it grabs like crazy.
