TCI Engineering's '72 C10 R&D Project

[DJW32]

Skrape never datalogged IAT's on track. His engine compartment lacked the room to properly build a CAI. He also lacked the grill space for a properly sized FMIC. I wouldn't doubt his IAT's were approaching 200 on a 100 degree day simply because the turbo inlet was pulling 150 degree temps out of the engine compartment.

There would be little difference in IAT's between a centrifugal blower and a turbo if the compressor wheels were the same and both were pulling ambient air into the inlet.

I guess I just defended myself into letting the cat out of the bag. hehe

I assumed boost was going to be used...I didn't know which one. I hear that tall intake will hurt numbers down low, but kick butt on the top end.

Let's be honest. This thing is going to light the tires up at will. We've purposely moved the power curve to the right with those heads and intake. We'll also gear it tall to try to make it somewhat drivable on the smaller courses. Even on wastegate spring it's going to be a handful.

I am most excited about getting out to some half mile events, turning it up and letting it eat.
