Is there an issue with the computer if you remove the cats? And with retune and aftermarket exhaust/ intake what gains are we looking at.
The Titanium GT-R was lowered on JRZ Coilovers, and also had a set of 18 inch wheels for the track. That is why it looked so lo.

With a custom tune, exhaust, downipes, and y-pipe, we can easily add 70-90 whp. If you want to go big, then we use the HKS GT570 kit, and we can push it to 150whp gain...still on stock turbos. That would be about 500-550whp.

coach, I don't believe it's an auto like ours. No torque converter. So very little heat. Sharif has my car again to put in a new TC. We'll see how it turns out.

Coach..... the GTR has a sequential manual dual clutch gear box. It is simply an automated clutch manual trans. It's not an auto transmision in the general sense. For all purposes it's a manual trans.

Correct. It has coolers on it as well. Although it was very cold outside at Road Atlanta, all temps were very very stable and safe. I think the hottest i saw on trans temp was 200F, and hottest temps on coolant and oil were 210F.
