If the intercooloers are allowing for more boost.. why'd you figure them all
with only 6 & 8 PSI. After being as far as to the turbos max before..
stopping at 15PSI is frustrating enough. If it's going onto an older stock
engine I could see stopping at 8 pounds.. but . if you actually build it..
and give it PLENTY of fuel.. I've found several people with 2.2's running 25&
26psi on daily drivers. They've determined over that compromises reliability
without major modifications.
Wasn't the twin turbo 318 that Mr. Shelby playing with putting out closer to
700HP.??
