Berto sounds like a mean machine man.
Good luck with the Tranny. I have been thinking about the GT solution myself but simply can not put any more money into the car at this point.

Now to answer the why did I go twins set-up...very simply, my motor was blown I wanted 550whp on pump gas and the fact that TN is still testing snails on the Stage 2 kit just didnt work out-the Stage 1 wouldnt have come close. I know of guys who have tried adding a T66 to the Stage 1 TN kit with no success, so I didnt want to chance a bad powerband/improper turbo on that Stage 1 kit. I loved my TN kit, it far surpassed my expectations, and if Stage 2 was available at the time I would have highly considered it, but it wasnt, so after discussion with Sharif I went with the proven kit. My Greddy kit runs the standard snails, 600+whp (on race gas) one day later will be more than enough for me, I dont need added lag or 700+whp for my goals, remember I'm not a dyno queen
Pics and dyno vid to come....
Edit-as far as track times I dont want to publically post my goals-I feel it's bad luck, but you guys can imagine 130whp over NA with the TN kit dropped me 1.1 seconds. I have 180whp over the TN kit now, just think what I might be doing

hm.. 110 hp dropped 1.1 sec 180 hp does not mean it'll drop close to that..
just think of a 17 second car.. give it 100 hp and it'll drop close to 2 seonds probably....
you ran a 11.98 so a low 11 sounsd about right.

j/k I'm guessing you guys have that road scouted i.e. no cops shooting radar. Looks like the same road that Tony and Mike (Osix350Z) were gunning it.
