The motor does not seem to be the weak link. GTM put together two shop cars (G37 and HR Z) to over 500+ WHp. There are several other cars out there, both HR and VHR that are also set up for 500+ WHp. My car is probably the most conservative tuned right now at a high setting of 470 WHp.

Also keep in mind there was a boost creep problem on my car (fixed now) where it saw boost as high as 12.3 psi. On the 6MT HR Z they just built, this correlates to between 573 to 583 WHp. I figure this would be around 540 to 550 on my 5AT.

As far as I know, none of these cars have popped the motor yet, but several have had minor transmission issues like slipping clutches. It seems the motor is very solid.

Hey Terry. it was great meeting you bro.
The car looks great, i loved it.
That was the cleanest, low profile look for turbo I have ever seen.
It looked like you had intakes lol

You gotta give me a ride one day.
Like 2c said, I'd even pay you to give me a ride.

I hope to see you at more meets.

2c pimps out the girls at the donut shop though... He'll convince you that a jelly donut from that hottie is worth $100

J/K 2c bro (I gotta get you back for creating a team/club name with my user name)

Mileage update from the last 4 fill ups:

18.5, 17.1, 18.5 and 18.4 (today)

This is with roughly 80% hwy, however I drive during rush hour traffic twice a day, 5 days a week on the 91 fwy. This also includes occasional "spirited" runs. The car and engine seems to feel smoothest between 80 and 100 mph.

Lesson learned, it is totally possible to have the same or better gas mileage with twin turbos. It all depends on your right foot.

If you're able to provide 1/4 mile times you'd might as well post:

0-60 times
0-100 times
Trap speed at the end of 1,320 feet

Just take your car to the next drag day @ CS.
