The VE is just a flat out better motor than the DE.
400 yes but there have been people that have tried even more boost on a gt30 and still havent surpassed the 450whp mark, it seems most are comfortable right at the 400whp mark.
The ve looks like it really loves the bigger turbos by the vid, Gives you the topend where the ve shines and takes advantage of the high duration and big lift of the cams without worries of having reversion. Again its efficient thats for sure. Which is why its making such big numbers at such a low boost level.
and jf your right about the wheelspin, whatever that 160k mile de was making at 28 lbs of boost on 110 octane i can tell you what even with good 205 falken tires on there 1-4th gear are useless, I just bounced the rev limiter the entire time no matter what when i would punch it, Anything above 4.5k would just blow the tires off. That was with stock cams. i hope i can make around 450whp on 20psi or less on the turbo im using and with the jwt s4 cams, That would be great.
