I am off to Georgia in a few days but my wife is trying to veto stopping by Forged Performance. I sure would like to see your car and Sharifs GT-R.

I am really taking a hard look at that car after seeing one at GTM......Over 550 whp on stock motor with stock ECU....The car would really also look good with wide wheel and nice suspension

Wait a minute. I am being a good boy and reading all the pages but after 15 I got tired. This thread started in Feb. 09' and it is now Aug. 09' This car isn't done? Did I miss something in the 20's pages? This project is crazy! I can't imagine the agony of waiting this long to get a project finished! Good luck! Can't wait to see the final product.

to break into the quad rwhp numbers you are gonna need the good gas...
Think the highest pure pump numbers (just 93) is in the 7xxrwhp range and that was revving to the moon.
You're gonna need the high octane fuel just to cope with the heat alone I'm sure.
Plus octane is cheap insurance in my opinion.

Funny how we'd need to run high octane where as those same turbos on 2L cars in singles run 500+ on pump gas. He should be able to easily run well over 900 on pump you'd figure.
Hopefully your car is done before I pull the trigger on a kit. Your #'s and Blackbird's numbers on his twin gt3082 will give me a good idea of how much turbo I'll need. Cass007's had great #'s but def atypical of the normal APS gt3071 extreme kit (or maybe it was close to maxxed out). I've been reading too many S2k, Evo, and Suby forums. All those like 2L 4 bangers run the same size singles that we do (gt3582s) and even bigger on much lighter cars. Makes us VQ guys look like poonanny's
