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.

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.
