I recently dynoed my f23a1 and put down 221 whp and 215 lbs of torque on 7.5 pounds of boost with stock cat. i am going to be getting some bigger injectors soon and doing a vafc hack and run about 9 lbs of boost. all in all im really impressed with the amount of power i put down with only 7.5 lbs of boost especially since its an automatic. ill have pics of the dyno sheets up soon on cardomain.com.

 

That is awesome! :thumbup:

Nice numbers. What kit is it? custom?

great #s


But, i don't think the stock motor can handle 9lbs of boost w/o some internal mods

 

It might. That F-Series 4-banger is a tough SOB. What I'd be worrying about is the lifespan of the automatic tranny.

 

yeah ive allready taken all of that into consideration, with good tuning and a good air fuel ratio the motor should hold up fine, as far as the tranny its being upgraded with a level 10 torque converter in about 3 weeks, plus a b&m tranny cooler.

 

would it be 2 expensive and a hassle to do a 5speed conversion?

 

No, in fact you can do it really cheap if you do the installation. Some people just like automatics.

Personally, I need to shift my own or I go nuts.

 

Autos just run more consistent times...

 

word on the auto's they do run more consistant

 

hey do u got pics of ur setup cause i am currently putting together a turbo kit for my car. I plan on running 15lbs on my A/T!

Thanks,
Tom
