Awesome news guys... 50lb. turbos (effectively a GT30R if I'm not mistaken) making this much power is insane. Just goes to show you that tuning over at GTM is top notch 
.
Congrats on the new benchmark. Now put another 1,000 miles on it so we can see what happens with another 4-6psi.

Even a 1400whp turbo viper's curve looks like a turbo curve where it looks normal for the first half of the powerband, then swooshes up big time all the sudden over 1000 rpms - just look at that june 2006 motor trend article of all the extreme FI'd cars
ehhhh if traction isnt a concern....and is this the same car you guys were making AWD or was that a different shop?

And to the people saying you want the power more towards 8k rpm, why wait to have the car wind out to make the power when you can have it faster and earlier and smoother in the rpm scale. I bet this car could give all 900hp supras a run for their money, getting a hell of a jump on them with that kind of powerband. Same reason the new GTR will have a VQ over the highrevving smooth powerbanded RB. Early HP = Early dominance ehhhh if traction isnt a concern....and is this the same car you guys were making AWD or was that a different shop?

Your talking two different things though guys. From a stand still 800whp in a Z is prolly like 1000whp in a supre. But from a roll sometimes have the power up top is what you want. This again all depends on what you want. For a dail street driven car I personally would want the lag as it would make the car slightly more drivable as you would have a bit less trouble with wheel spin because of reduced responsiveness.
Remember that in some forms of racing lag can be your friend. Some racers use lag to their advantage in road racing in order to all them to mash the gas pedal prior to exiting a corner and not get wheel spin and time it just right so that when they straighten out they can hit full boost.

Just saying with more boost means the curve is going to become more like a classic turbo graph - that's just how it is

Thanks again everyone for the compliments and kinds words, it really means a lot to us and we do appreciate everyons support. We will try to get pics and a video for the next dyno sessions, we were focus on the car and it did not really cross our minds to take pics or video this time, especially at 4 am
