Yeah you might get good gains, the inly reason why some of the guys on here have just as good spool time is because they have the right supporting mods.. Im talking about a stock srt-4 with a stage 3 versus a stock srt-4 with a modifed stage 3. There are alot of underlying facts here, such as what you have done to your motor, what gas your using, all kinds of stuff. Im not going to believe that a big wheel stage 3 will spool as fast as a stock wheeled stage 3 because its going against basic physics. The only reason why you get close to stage 3 spool is because of your motor not the Turbo to a certain extent. Hell I bet you could get better spool then stage 3 if you didnt have the bigger wheel and have all those motor mods.
Also do you not think the bigger wheel stage 3's put more stress on the manifold then what it was designed for? How about the Housing?
So you dont believe that, well how about the fact that modding a car limits the life of your motor, theres really no good advice to tell you about getting extra horsepower out of the stage 3 without porting the head and adding cams and gears. I think that would be the best advice.
The best way to get power and keep reliability of your turbo kit, would to port it.
If you want to put alot more stress on the turbo kit, put a bigger wheel in it
Here are my credentials,
I'm getting ready to Graduate from CU/ Boulder with an Architecture degree and getting ready to do my masters of Architecture. What do you have?
Go and look for a lawyer, how many would you would trust regardless of the toilet paper hanging on the wall behind them?
No offense but paper saying this person has passed this test does not indicate the proper reasoning skills or mental capacity or skill set in doing things well all the time. More often then not it means something only to the person holding it or the dummy looking at the fancy writing.
At a shop I was at several years ago we had 40 mechanics come through the door in the space of one year. Some of them came in when new on the first day, positioned a tool box and then hung the toilet paper certifications up from GM, Ford, Chry, Benz, BMW, Volks etc......... Almost all were ok (notice not note great or good) with a fast ball (car make they knew), throw them a curve ball and they fell down on there face.
It got to the point that a couple of us started drawing up are own certs on paper and hanging them up and laughing.
I'm sure there are lots of pro tuners, very very good builders, and excellent mechanics on here that have not had a higher education then 12.
Your paper cert or the fact that you went further in your education then others means you chose a path towards achieving a goal that was not similar to someone else thats all.
I have a higher education but that means dick when it comes down to hitting a pitched ball in a live game.
