Message	I've been going back and forth on keeping my turbos (7,000 mile sport 500's) or going with ballbearing turbos. I will be using e85 regardless for knock-prevention, just not necessarily at full-boost all the time. Just curious - I know at that horsepower level, stock turbos are far beyond their efficiency range but could you provide more details please? IE: how many miles you put on them - both total and after e85 tuned, how/when did the failure occur, how did you generally drive your Z? TIA. ________________Sig Separator________________________ Parting out my entire 1990 twin turbo! Please email me for needed parts! See profile for my WTB/WTT list as well.

Thanks! - ZXoltan 16:12:15 05/19/14 ??? - bartz32tt 16:20:25 05/19/14 Not unless "sweetspot" (with cams advanced) means less power - ZXoltan 16:40:55 05/19/14 Car was dyno tuned by SZ, who set the cam gears. - 280ZuL8r 17:52:46 05/19/14 Blown turbo seal all ready :( - Evan_Wright (Ca) 17:27:21 05/19/14 Greg/SZ should have my runs on file still. There were alot.. - 280ZuL8r 17:59:36 05/19/14 you are saying you might be interested in another SZ tune in - puchy 09:53:09 05/20/14 Yes. Let's make it the 2nd annual of many! (n/m) - 280ZuL8r 10:21:42 05/20/14 hmm... - aliaZ 01:48:46 05/22/14 Evan, you're on stock cams, aren't you? - ZXoltan 20:25:43 05/19/14 Yes I degree'd both intake and exhaust. - Evan_Wright (Ca) 20:44:32 05/19/14 Thanks. Good info. (n/m) - ZXoltan 21:13:50 05/19/14 Probably has a lot to do with the intake harmonics - -Grimm- 17:39:24 05/19/14
