its like look at those twin turbo lambos, that SUCK at the track, but once they hit the highways "south of the border" there are few things that can keep up even if they do have better track numbers.

my first pass on low boost, with a 2.6 60ft, short shifting first and second messing up completely running a 13.2 i still managed to trap 118mph lemme see your small frame turbo make up in the back end for driving like a twat out the hole

The car wasnt stripped down to metal or nothin but anything that unbolted easy like the seats or seatbelts came out and ive removed some brackets and sound dedoning over the years. the car should go pretty good with the gt2871r and the turbofx housingifi could ever get in contact with them.

BUT if i wanted more of a dedicated race car then i agree with the larger t3 turbo idea as far as dialing in your launches better before boost kicks in and holding on for dear life after second.

i may just add a wet shot for third and forth though so i dont scare people away with the big snail

10s have been done on a t2 , but as said why work your motor harder when its easier and opens up bigger doors to progress forward.

DITTO!!!

Totally messed up the launch, span the shit outta 1st and 2nd and still went on to a 13.2 @ 125 mph (albeit I lost)!!!

You ain't doing that with anything less than a GT30 and 20 psi!

Small turbo for the circuit!

Big turbo for the strip!
