Default Dowpipe size does make a difference!!

I recently dyno'd my 240 with a 2.5" dp. It made 380whp, 301tq. Not to bad, but not so great either. Today, Millenium made me a 3" dp and we dyno'd again, same boost, and made 411whp, 311tq...that's a 31whp gain for $290...not to shabby....just thought I would inform the turbo guys....Thanks....

1. stay in the throttle until you hear the revlimiter :
........A. If you are in 1st or 2nd, ride out the revlimiter until the car catches up with the motor/trans/tire speed.




you will be moving forward at a greater rate than what i heard you moving at today when you left a couple times. While i may not be a consistent 60ft'er, i can teach you how to 60ft your car.

Yeah, I definetly never take it to redline because 2nd puts in at about 70 or 80 and I'm not trying to get another ticket...

Congrats!

My 3" exhaust made a night and day difference on my car, so I know you were excited..
