I am able to get a spike of 7 psi in nutral with a stock 2.3 IHI TC 5 speed the only mods are: High-flow exhaust, K&N cone filter & a gillis valve set to 18 psi. I have had this set up for a long time and have not changed a thing!!! Now out of the blue I can get 7 psi in nutral, all most no lag in first (spins toyo's very easy!!!) If I hold the brake in first give her gas and let it roll a bit. I can easily build 18 psi and not have the tires spin, when I let the brakes go she allmost lifts the front wheels!!!
It seems to good to be true! Is she going to pop a turbo soon?
