Detroits have both turbos and superchargers to get more boost, would a bigger turbo do the same thing? Thanks........

Oh. No problem. So, factory turbo is good for 27-30 psi max. The factory map sensor can only read 35psi. I have larger turbo , Borg Warner S369. That turbo is good for 55+ psi depending on applications. You also need the fuel to get that turbo lit. I have 225/100 injectors. So fuel + bigger turbo = more boost

Sure have... at 90-95mph my EGT is around 850-900 degrees ... EOT / ECT is 190's and when I step in HARD and stay in it will touch 1600 on EGT. All that is completely fine.

Dayum! That's already a win. That you can keep your temps down doing it = PARTY!

That's pretty amazing. My cruising EGTs at 70mph on flat ground are 800-900F. Max I'll push it too is 1400F. That's with the pyro mounted pre-turbo. I'm at ~400HP with my mods.

So far I am just running the toll roads and gapping anyone and everyone that wants a piece lol. I have a new Z06 under my belt, put a school bus on his from a 50 roll

I have a diesel shop in Texas... it will be more or less mobile advertising.

Either way good luck keeping it together! Keep us informed! Aluminun tolerance is 1200* if the temp is influxed it can take it but add a load and ? However if the temp in the cylinders work in conjunction with the pressure of that temp would it not take longer for the melt to start? Like a coolant in a radiator under pressure the boiling point is higher! I dkw just thinking out loud!

Over 700hp to the wheel and ticking. Beating the shit out of it on a daily and she keeps asking for more.
