Best SC/Turbo kit for AT?

[monkeybike]

You want to know the MPH also, not just the ET.
The ET is mostly setup and 60ft but the MPH is a better indicator of the power IMHO.

I know this isn’t a 0-60 1/4 mile car and autos are slow etc...

Probably not even possible but I’d love to get lowish 5s 0-60 and mid 13s 1/4mile at a reliable 7-8psi in an auto on pump gas.

This posted in the Edelbrock thread. Probably going to need to go up on boost or switch to E85 to acheve those numbers.

Current setup is just- edelbrock kit +JDL UEL header, 3" perrin running 265whp on 6AT tuned by Bob at Drift Office

Took it to drag strip yesterday for shits ran 14.01 @ 101 mph all night, was trying so hard to break into 13's lol the 6AT really holds me back can't launch for shit

I saw that post which led me to my question if all twin screw sc on same psi would have same 0-60 / 1/4 miles. Or maybe one is better at cooling the air, or has max boost quicker/lower in rpms and would be a tad bit faster. Or maybe an ace header and Fd swap could push an auto into the 13s on pump gas and 7-8psi charger.

I'm running the AVO turbo kit, flex fuel E85, and am running 350whp.

But I believe the same kit can be tuned more conservatively on 92 Octane at around 260-290whp.

The auto tranny sometimes dislikes the amount of torque it receives and goes into limp mode. (I simply clear this using the OBDII reader and Torque app)

1. It is physically impossible for me to overboost. The turbo is sized properly, and I can't blow an engine from a wastegate suddenly getting stuck. I have no blowoff valve that can fail; the Mitsubishi 18G used in the kit is strong enough to not need one. To this day, I have never, ever, seen a failed turbo from the T518Z kit, and there are quite a few out there, many of them driven as hard as mine.

2. With an extended pull, I can have full boost at 2300 rpm. My transient response is good enough that I have boost on throttle blips, and is both heard when I heel-toe downshift, and is visible on datalogs.

Bonus: because I don't have a BOV, I don't release boost between shifts on pulls. I don't have to respool cuz I stay spooled.

Before people say the turbo is too small, I make 350whp/450crank hp on 10.5 psi boost, with a stock front pipe, and stock catback. Obviously, there's more power and response left untapped by my setup, but I like having a stealthy silent setup that doesn't smell.

I have no issues with the Greddy kit personally. I got my PRL setup for a steal lightly used.
