Lag: GOOD FOR OMNI?

[BLASINTEBO]

I have heard lag is good for l body because they are so light. Is this true? I am thinking about upgrading to a big turbo can I go bigger because of this? What's the biggest I get away, and still have at least 14 pounds of boost by 3600-3800 rpm? I want to be able to put these 52 lb/hr injectors to work!

I will be running:

Ported polish head with roller cam

Ported polish manifold or TU header (God willing)

3 inch dump / Cut out with elect butterfly

Spearco Intercooler or NPR (probably NPR)

Original 2.2 T1 Block

Cast Crank

TII rods

Forged Pistons

Stage V 87 Cal from FWDPERF, in conjunction with adj fuel pressure regulator

i am pretty sure lag isnt good for any car, unless the other guys car has it

Doing that is just going to make you lose traction in an omni later. You're best bet with an L-body would be to set up a boost setup that uses lower boost in low gears, and high boost in 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

Remember, if you wait until 3800 for boost to hit, you are killing 1/6th of your possible powerband.

people that have lag just dont know how to drive a turbo car.
ive got a big honkin turbo on my car and i dont complain about lag at all.
put in a big turbo, it gives fantastic power gains in the upper rpms.
with the cummins holset turbo I am using, i get 20 psi by 3500.

cumming holset... wow those are big I saw one on ebay. I never thought boost would come on so early with one of those....

I want thinking a little lag was good for an Omni because GLHSKEN said that.
