Thanks,it is a sleeper...I took it to a dyno at RevXtreme in Bradenton...They had a dyno day with alot of people that showed...I heard bets coming in for under and over 475 RWHP,I asked who had the bet for over and told them he is going to win 100%...First pull at 4 psi put down 484,we opened the electric cut-outs and put down 532,50 hp from opening the pipes!

We pumped it up to 13 psi and it lifted the front tires a bit off the ground and the graph went instantly straight up to 628 RWHP at 5200 RPM and we let out due to it showed lean,it had alot more in it easily...This car is a monster like no other vehicle ive been in...at 4-6 psi it will do 45 mph roll burnouts in drive with ET streets!

This car has seen 20psi and could see more if it would stick it,I have a methonal kit for it also..

I will do a video real soon as this is VERY fun to drive and crazy fast!!

Im really in love with this car,I bought it in 1992 and never thought id own something like this with this powerplant...I gave my GN to my wife and now she is happy too..

Awesome setup! The only things I would improve on are your turbo choices (I like newer technologies better for more flow) and the collectors leading into your turbo flanges. You know you can get pre-cut flanges right? Great numbers, and great design!

I'm wondering why you went with turbos with internal waste gates? price? also your actuators are two different colors, are the springs and diaphragms the same?

I know alot of things I could have done and I know this car spools in 3 feet from moving and has more power than I will ever consider useing,so I could have wasted my money on newer technology for even more power than I need?,this thing is crazy fast as is for anybody to drive...Its a 9 second car with 5 pounds of boost,imagine 25 and a little methonal? I have $700 in my 2 turbos(one barely used and one new on a deal) and nothing in the flanges,they are 3 bolt flanges made to run a 6 cyliner GN,its running 4 cylinders(one side).And the collector was made from a catalic converter that was double insulated and being we used rollcage tubing for the headers I didnt want to use cheap pre-made crap that may possibly crack.This set-up works,trust me..It can easily do 50mph burnouts with 5 psi on et streets,its crazy...

I was trying to save money but before the build was done I went with external wastegates and closed the puck holes,im glad I did this as there is no boost creep..I also added a tial BOV,turbo blankets and so on..I just got the trunk re-done this weekend also..

Awesome ride!
