Turbo LS '95 Chevy: Grandpa's Former Daily Driver Turns Into Drag Truck! (Test Hits with a Dragy)

What happens here

After the throttle cable is secured, the driver performs another test pass. He describes the run as 'lazy' but successful, noting that the truck made approximately 8 pounds per square inch of boost pressure. He highlights the current wastegate setting, designed to be 'pump gas friendly,' meaning it's set for lower, safer boost levels suitable for regular fuel and preventing engine damage during casual driving or initial tuning. This conservative setting aims for reliability before pushing for maximum power.

Goal: Evaluate initial performance with the repaired throttle cable and conservative boost settings.

listen uncle rob may want to have a food eating competition but he does not want to race see that intercooler in the front you know what that means yeah got a i bet you that thing has no problem keeping up with iats it's got it's got bluetooth cold stuff bluetooth gold side nice same especially nice boost wise it made a max of 8.3 just about like what i what i figured maybe we can turn her up a little bit more that's what i like to hear so the draggy did work yeah i had no idea i never used it before i was kind of excited to try it out but it did pretty much just about what i expected a little slower but that's probably due to some tune changes and stuff but 179 60 foot like just cruising off of a low two-step low boost launch so if i if i had pulled up to the track and and you would ask me what i thought my 60-foot was going to be with what i had in the truck i'd have told you 174. so considering an intake swap and some things that i never even ran before that's pretty on par and it's a draggy yeah like that's a bottom line it's an accurate number yeah you can you can trust the draggy absolutely so between like my estimation and draggy and lots
