Michael,

I am thinking of starting training again...One last time. I was working w/ some NHB fighters here in Texas..mostly standup...but I was trying to help them w/ their ground game also....I am getting a little old to be hit in the head anymore...and the kids gun for me when they find out I used to teach for a Renzo school. I wish I were 10 years younger....my advice is to train as much as you can while you can. After 40 its tough. I get injuries that never heal.

Recently all of our builds are usually the 700s. 600+ WHP easy.

Whenever you come to SD, let's train some J-Jitsu.

Could you please clarify at what point the decision to use the 700BB turbos becomes a necessity. I like the power curve I have seen with the smaller turbos but I will be going with a built short block at the same time I have the kit installed. I was shooting for 500/500 with a fuel return system and UTEC added to the JWT kit. If that's not possible (or practical) with the smaller turbos then I have to rebudget (again!).

Thanks.

SGP is a great shop. At 1st I took mine somewhere to to have everything done thinking I'd save alittle but they shop messed the car up horribly and then tried SGP and they fixed the car and had it running perfect. Never looked back and never thought about taking mine anywhere else. +1 for SGP.

You only need the big turbos if you want to go over 500. The smaller TT and a short block build is all you need for up to 490 whp. That is what I am going to go for.
