Twin Turbo Kit

Enjoy your wait.

On a serious level.. Exhaust, CAI, Intake, Headers, and some sticky tires..I think you could edge out a stock LS1. Otherwise.. you have a lot of power from a 3.5 V6. Amazing actually since the 280hp on the GTP is a 3.8L FI E90 Eaton Supercharger. However I think to push beyond you may have to look into FI. Otherwise the mods I listed above could *possibly* put you well within range of taking down an LS1.

Seems like this has been happening to EVERYONE! Same exact thing happened to me, except the girl looked better and I hit it 7 times in a row w/o stopping! Oh and it was a quad-turbo vette!

hey, i saw you racing! and i talked to the vette owner and he told me he was gonna smoke you but his computer told him he had danger to his manifold, and then his floor fell off. Then i was like, "hey your floor fell off" and he was like "winning is winning
" and i was like "******** *******, no one likes the tuna here!"

Default Oh Come ON! I was only running with 3 turbos!!

Yeah, I am the driver of that vette he raced. You're wrong, I have 4 turbos under my hood, didnt you see I had twin turbo on "each side" of my doors?! Twin + twin = quad! Yeah, but one of my turbo was not working well, so I was only running with 3 turbos, if I was running with all 4 of them, you'll be eating my dust!

Oh, yeah BTW, Nice Z you got there

WANNA TRADE??
