Yall fellas are using the wrong bearings...we use ceramic bearings with titanium races on our late model stock car, we gained 25 HP at the rear wheels...thats a good amount on the racetrack!

Guys, be very careful with the muffler bearings. I had a friend who took that route trying to get some cheap additional horsepower and ended up blowing out his suspension (ball joints were literally melted due to the underbody heat). Exhaust gases are simply not designed to move that fast.

Chouseal if your interested Buzzy and myself have been running turbo fan polishing beads, they help alot all you gotta do it pop off the air intake from your compression side of the turbo and dump a bottle of 10ga. buckshot in start er up and let em polish away!
I've seen a great gain in my boost using the beads and highly recommend them

I have a friend who has tried the same idea with sand (much finer grit = much more aggressive polishing action) and he claims it works wonders throughout the engine internals, not just the turbo. He tried it first on his lawnmower and ended up gaining close to .1 horsepower (not dyno'd). No gunk, carbon deposits or anything left behind, plus the bores and valves all have a beautiful sheen to them.

Buzzy pick up a bag of sand and I'll come by to give your trucksome throttle actionwhile you dump the sandin! That way its all preped and ready when your smarty gets in!
