If you do some research and match modifications carefully you can achieve a good balance in the power delivery. Not much point sticking the 1521a into a stock head and no tune as we all know now. I have a 977b on a stock head and it is not too great during every day driving (thats why I will be going to a 1673 in my new engine). If I was to port my head and fit 3.7-1 diff gears it might hide some of the (lack of) low down torque. Just consider where you spend most of your time (in the revs) and think. I spend most of my time cruising at 2000-2500 and there is nothing more embarassing than a VN putting up a hill past you at 1500rpm as you arent ringing your motor to keep up??

I know what your saying . You have to get the most out of a cam .
What I did with a 1521a was not getting the most out of a cam. I should of dyno tuned it. Ported and shaved head . Shorter diff gears . It would of been great then . But I didn't want to go down that path . Even when I had my 977b I think head porting and tune would of benefited it .

Correct, its all a learning curve.
You had some balls, Got a big a** cam and now we are all more knowledgable, this is why we are all here I guess. Good luck with you turbo set up. Keep us posted in the meantime!

im giving the cams and s**t a rest and going turbo....later lol
if u had a hectic N/A setup it wouldnt work well with a turbo such as high compression. short diff gears and a tight LSA on a cam. either go one way or the other.

He's also selling the very first kit they made . Has done 30,000km . So the turbo is holding up alright .
A decent Garret would be the price of the kit.

Yea that's correct . U can keep buying turbos that last 50,000km or buy a decent one. If u can't afford a decent new kit, look for a decent 2nd hand one
