    Thank's for comp's guy's.The difference in my hp and youngun's hp is from a previous dyno sheet I seen of his car,He make's his hp all in the last 1500rpm,as I make mine starting at 3500rpm until 7000rpm.I will be long gone before he ever get's into boost,unless he spray's!As far as lighspeed,we will have to see.

    That's damn impressive that you have such a power range. Everyone I know who is big turbo makes like 40% or so of their power in the last 2k rpms.

    that's because a lot of people size their turbos for a certain peak number rather than a usable power range. smaller turbos tend to hit hard and fall off up top, but if you get the sizing just right and run a good wastegate setup it makes all the difference in the world.

    looks like a hell of a setup, i want to see this thing in person some time.

    My turbo's are rated at 650hp each. I am almost there!I am just glad I havn't had to turn up the boost anymore yet. And to think my original goal with the car was only 800rwhp!!You are correct about turbo sizing.To big and it make's power late and to small ,they come on quick and die out on the big end.Mine seem to be pretty close to the correct size.

    Looks like you have a huge thanks to give to John Lee over @ Atlanta Performance for knowing what he is doing. I'd have to say he's the only person i'd let touch my car over there!! He builds some amazing stuff.. The Craftsmanship in unmatchable...

    Oh and i looked up the highest HP manifold kit and it's 1192 but thats on a 408. So looks like you got it....

    John Lee built that?!

    That explains everything! John has always been a bad ass fabricator!
