Guys, if ya don't mind I would like to join in on this conversation. I have just started running an '88 thunderbird 4 cylinder turbo car and would love to ask some questions. I'm an IHRA car in I/FIA but could fit in H/I/J with weight.

1.) Assuming you are using a two-step, what rpm are you able to leave at?

2.) How much difference, if any, have you noticed with engine temperature being higher or lower in your et's?

3.) How in the heck do we figure out how to dial these things? I have noticed if we are running pretty close my car seems to fall off .05-.10 every pass. Is that pretty normal?

Thanks for any help

People tell me to just put a small block in it and forget this turbo stuff. But, I do like a challenge!

Sounds like your having an electronics issue. You can not fight the computer, you have to fool it
