    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....

    Oh and yeah John is the only person who would work on my car, cause he's the only one who knows how too...


    (Jeff) Why would you let someone who constantly talks **** behind your back and use you for a place to live. To post under your name and make you look bad?

    I hope oneday I can be a 37 year old low life that can't afford a place to live or pay his child support, and live off everyone else doing him favors.. While talking **** about everyone who helps him out and trys to be nice..

    William (high psi) why don't you try save your money, get back with your baby momma, and try to take care of your daughter. You already ****ed up **** with your son, you might as well try to have a life with you daughter. It's the least you can do. And stop worring about petty **** on the internet and trying to start drama.. I know i've ****ed up in the past and it's all been made known. But I've made a 180 degree turn and people who matter to me have seen that.. I hope you the best... but I and everyone else know you'll never change... PS: Katy said to make sure to use your herpes cream, and to let people know what you have before you sleep with them...
    Holy sh!t what a callout! The truth is a mother fuker though. Andrea was too good for him in the first place. It's too bad she figured it out after it was too late.
