Default Planning to go FI in a several months...

I was just wondering are there any members here who have the APS extreme duty turbo kit? I was thinking in a few months to build my engine and then have the APS extreme kit on my car. I have already reinforced the frame of my car with a 7 point Rollcage, GT Spec Lower Bars and Upgraded Sway Bars.

We have a few in progress but none done yet, so of course no dyno numbers/reviews...

820rwhp @ 20psi according to APS. Whatever that's worth to you.

I'll believe it when I see it.

What size tires do you need in the rear to even get that power to the ground?

Is it possible for the Z suspension to have positive rear camber? If so it would help with drag racing, i come from the porsche world which has tons of negative camber for twisty roads, but a 928 can fit 13 inch wide wheels under the rear fenders with no rolling heh.

Guess it would be a good idea to have a widebody kit with my APS extreme TT kit?

if you've got the $$$, (or €€€ as the case may be) it'd help -- i bet you could tuck 295's or 315's under there with a bit of rolling if you get your offsets, sizes, and suspension right
