That was with a M62 blower from the Jackson Racing kit, on 8.5:1 compression (original setup had 21psi of boost so we lowered compression for that and the nitrous) Could have made more with higher compression but it wasnt worth it at that point.

It didnt make any power spinning that fast and maxed out power wise at 17psi

Yeah Ive been following that thread at H-T, talked a lot with that guy about the threshold for spinning the M62 etc. He has gone thru a lot, like I did with my setup, he just has more funds and it appears a lot more patiences than I have. hahaha

Ill have to go check out turbo connections, Im in Edwardsville almost every day it seems.

I bought the car for my wife, she always talked about wanting a Prelude. Once I got it she didnt like it (she liked the 4th gen) So I drove it. Two years later she got a Nissan Altima, the 3.5 V6 and stomped the Prelude in a race on the way home from the dealer. I couldnt have that so I looked around for something to make the Prelude a bit quicker, decided that because the car was originally an auto that the SC was the way to go.

Car only has 80k miles on the chassis, maybe 1000 on the rebuild. I decided that I wanted better tunability so I did a 5 speed swap and it just snowballed from there.
