My RNR 50trim times from GLD

I don't really think the kits are that bad, they just need some massaging. It is usually the person installing the kit or a bad combination of parts which hinders performance. As you can see they make the power and are capable of low 11's on the right combo.

I think you can hit 11.1 or maybe a 10.9 . . . I would hope because I want a 50 trim but want to be able to hit 10s
good luck to ya, especially with a 1.6 or 1.7 60'
PM me who you got tuned by if you don't mind, I think I have you exact mods else where but if you don't mind send those again too

Like Creamo said, the kits aren't that bad. Not perfect but certainly not horrible either.
It seemed to be hit or miss for most people. RNR's customer service/shipping is where most of the problems lied.
I had no major fitment issues with my kit. The massaging Creamo is referring to came mostly with the o2 housing. At least for myself anyway. I had to put my die grinder to work smoothing out a couple spots. Other than that, I have no complaints. I'm just glad we got that lifetime warranty on the manifold....oh they're out of business you say?

That is amazing dude, you are making serious power on an ancient turbo too. I was hoping you would hit some 10's, I bet you could with practice. You may also wana look into a BB 50trim to swap on for faster spool and it keeps the boost higher between shifts I bet your time would lower some as well not to mention a better torque curve. Buit yeah 125MPH is optimal for a 50 Trim, and even more amazing on an RNR manifold!!!
At that power level, do you feel the HDSS is giving way or slipping at all?

EDIT: As for hitting 10's, I'm an optimist but I seriously doubt that's going to happen. It's going to take a hell of a driving improvement, a better clutch, and more power for that to happen.

This log is from a 3rd gear pull back in March well before my final tune and track visit in April. I went full throttle at 3.4k. Target boost was 26psi. I'm now running 28psi. The screen shots are a little more blurry than I would like but you can still make it out.
20psi @ 4.2k
26.4psi @ 4.5k
This just shows that it's still holding 26psi @ 7.5k. It creeps up to around 27.5 psi in the middle.

I've yet to dyno the car. I do my own tuning so I never really had a reason too. I might someday though for ****s.
