Thank you Sam@GT Motorsports.....
First of all I'd like to start off by saying thank you to Sam at GT Motorsports for an amazing job. He knew this was not my area of expertise, but through a lot of patience and why this is a good idea vs. I would def not do this...I think the end product is for sure something to be proud of. I've dealt w/ a series of performance places, and this one is def it...a true one stop shop ...Sam stands by his work and sure went the extra mile on this one.
This car is amazingly quick...it builds boost so quickly its actually quite scary....as I'm going through the gears it feels nothing short of a rocket sled that plasters you to you seat. I'm still learning how to properly handle all the new torque while trying to be safe at the same time..its def a learning process. I truly believe that 500 to the wheels is def the sweet spot .I'd also like to thank my350 for providing a plethora of knowledge and information...I think I use the search button a little too much...seriously though, everyones stories and trials they've experienced have been so helpful.

I bought a set of Garretts for $190 shipped with 10psi springs but shim them as well... From what I hear you can't can't any more psi out of the Forged Actuators for half the price...

nice numbers, that's one of the flatter APS TT torque curves I've seen.
One question though since the car is the exact same car between low and high boost runs - as in same exhaust, same test pipes etc. Why is it that at 3500 rpms on the low boost setting you have 340 tq, while on the high boost setting you have 220tq at 3500 rpms?
obviously the higher boost run wasn't recording until 3500 rpms where the car started going WOT, while the other one started at 2800 rpms when the car started going WOT
I thought the APS TT was supposed to have almost no lag at all and be fully spooled by around 3500 rpms
