yea, it won't matter if you run 130 131 or 135.. some people will never just be happy for you

There are two ways to be fast.. Marc does a great job showing what can be done with weight reduction and you're definitely showing what can be done with GT turbos on a full weight car. I'm very happy for you and can't wait to see you get good traction and make a all out pass.

How far are you from detroit? I'm more than likely going up there for the car show. My father lives near kalamazoo.

the turbos or the rods?

Just imagine what those turbos could do on a fully built engine.

I really want to get over there to see that setup, and to meet piggie in person.

IIRC the way they have it set is that the 28's peak @ 25 and hold 23 all the way up.

I'm sure they're not in rod snappin territory at those levels. I just wonder what this car is gunna do next spring, and what if he had some nicer IC's in those low ambient temps. I'd really like to see what just swapping the RS4 IC's with a more robust/proven IC would have resulted in.

And, yeah you should stop by when you visit Kalamazoo. Mike's a pretty awesome guy.
