OOPS.......Ed is upset !! WATCH OUT he might whip out the Mopar FWD TURBO FOUR BANGER for Noble !!
If he can keep CV joints or axles in it !! :-)
What they need on those turbo cars is a tell tale guage to see if they are turning up the boost !! The sportscar road racers have them !! Why not NHRA ??? :-)

John,
Help me understand something here. I don't care how much more duration your cam is over stock. I don't care how much more than stock valve spring you run. I don't care who's aftermarket non-stock aluminum heads you have. I don't care how big your fuel injectors are. I don't care how you set the screws on your carburetor. Why do you care how much boost I choose to run? If the factory didn't want them to be adjustable they wouldn't have put the "screw" on them now would they? Get over it! Jim

John How about making you run the factory cam ? stock exhaust manifolds,the factory final drive ratio, I think the biggest thing that the factory put in anything was about 4.11. And let us not mention the $5000 cylinder heads.
If the RWD cars changed back to those things the boost control would not be a bad thing.

And PS I never broke a cv joint or an axle. I know how to avoid those problems.

And ABOVE ALL don't lump all FWD racers in with "ED"

Sorry folks but I had to ban Ed for two weeks. He was not banned for his usual charming wit, but for obscenity. Its one thing to call members wimps, but he has gone over the line this time. I also had to remove the post in question.

In the past I have been very lenient when it comes to members expressing there opinion about other members. It will be my call, but I will no longer tolerate members verbally abusing other members. You can express your dissatisfaction with other members, but I ask members to please do it with out threats or obscenities.

I hate Ed getting banned for two weeks.

I really enjoy seeing how he can get so many bowels in an uproar.
I can't believe how many he can get to.
These guys play right into his hand.

Tone it down a little Ed so you don't get in trouble. You will still make your point. Loud & clear.

As I recall on my '87 Daytona Shelby Z, the factory computer limited boost output. The Shelby Z was set to 12 PSI with a peak of 14 PSI and then only for brief intervals as it was an intercooled engine. The more common Turbo I engines (non-intercooled engines) peaked, I believe, at 8 PSI and 10 PSI max for brief intervals. These "high peaks" are for "passing manuvers" and not for sustained operation. Sure there are ways to by-pass it but the factory does set limitations. Otherwise everybody would start fiddling with the adjustments and there would be warranty engine claims all day long.
