I want to hold 28 psi and see what that does with the upgraded wheel.
However I need to get in touch with the Tuner in Miami that has a Dyno and then him and Vince can schedule sometime to work with the tune and my car.

LV. Very curios to see what he can do with your turbo wheel!

Can you tell Vince the VE, flow rate (or whatever it is called) that the upgraded wheel is capable of and then have him check the data logging on the dyno runs to get the correct boost that corresponds to that #?

Congratulations LV! You were one of the first with the upgraded wheel and blazed a path that interests many. I hope you start to see some notably bigger #'s. I think trifecta is a great choice to move forward. Good for you.

Are you going with select-a-tune?

This is going to generate a lot interest!

If his #s come out good, BTF is going to need to stock up on wheels.
Wonder how the stock clutch is going to hold up?

He's got the cheapest price so far. But at least two other vendors have them out there.

I talked to Luis he is the tuner in Miami and he will be talking to Vince.
The flow rate if I remember the answer from BTF is 38lbs/mn.
I will let people know when it will be schedule.
One thing I want to make clear is my setup was already Tune by RANDY & DAVE from DDM.
At present it is very easy for me to do 23psi sustain and not give the car that much throtle.
I would love to have DDM latest tune to see how much more improvements they have made from the original tune they did on my car in Orlando.

The reason I am looking at Tifecta (Vince) is because of the increase in boost and want to see if the larger wheel can sustain 28-29 psi.

The boost is most related to how much air you move. With the larger wheel you should be able to boost higher to 28 PSI or more and do it with less turbo effort/spin.

Therefore AFAIK you should be able to push more PSI with less effort and no issues on the turbo or engine.

That is what I am hoping since it does this now with the tune from Randy and Dave from DDM.
I believe as you mentioned 28-29 psi should not be a problem, will have to wait and see once the tune is done.
So far no response from Luis and Vince.

I e-mailed Vince all kind of information on my car.
I included a lot of information from BaldTurboFreak, hoping Vince and Rick(BaldTurboFreak) talk.
BTF has posted 322RWHP/360 Torque using a Cobalt SS and the larger wheel at 20psi.
