you can make more power by increasing boost, but if the turbo is small but quick spooling, it will always be restrictive at higher rpms because its quick spooling characteristics are a result of the smaller a/r.

it really depends on what you need from your car. drag racing would need more top end power with a larger a/r, while driving on a tight technical course would be better for a low a/r turbo for quick spooling and power delivery, and depending on your driving, daily driving too, since rarely you can just go WOT on public roads.

my bad for this late reply but i just want to say the event was great i had lots of fun, raced like 15 times, keep getting worse that's why i stop. fastest time for me was 15.4 at 85mph with just intake and full exhaust so i was happy. Saw lots of nice tc but i was hopping to see someone get to low 12 at least.

Sorry about the pics.............. Someone picked my camera up off the table droped it and than put it back BROKEN! I took it back to get it fixed and they told me that it will take ONE MONTH to fix, and I dont know how much this will cost me personally! Worst of all my wife is still miffed about the whole thing, and I have not heard the end of it! I would go out and purchace a new one but I dont have a spare $700.............. Sorry about the rant but long story short as soon as I get it back the pics go up!

thats not right, at least they should of had the webos to fess up and appologise for dropping your camera and to at least pay for damages since they are responsible... but people do not care no-a-days and its really sad.. hope it gets fixed and we can see the pix! i would of taken but it was wayyyy too hot out for me to walk around lmao

low 12's on that hot of a day is asking a lot. On my slips it ranged from 101 to 108 degrees. Also the track was not in that great of condition. Left lane was not too good, Lots of rocks/ debris. Right lane was ok until later in the day. I didnt witness it, but I was told a car was leaking fluid, so I stayed away from that lane.
