thank you Erik i am super impressed with your ride. Missed getting a chance to talk to you at sickweek . looked like the two cars your camp brought were doing well.

if you went single turbo what do you think the equivalent would be? i want enough power to get to low 8s but realistically i will not update the chassis to 750 cert. I just want to be ablt to run 850s at will and drive the ass off it when not at the track

Probably a single 88mm or a little larger. Depends on your weight and drivetrain. You probably want more rpm. If you have good parts 7500 is not an issue and the turbo will like the rpm. We found that out during sick week. We went from a 3.25 to a 3.00 rear gear and it actually killed some mph, so not making the power up top without the additional rpm. Going back to 3.25's
