To each his own, but just take pride in your win. Congrats and take care of your ride, they're a dying breed.
Thanks.

What Injectors Are Good For

DMoney,

I know you were guessing about your HP, but here is a good thread that gives a good idea as to what HP injectors are good for (also discusses duty cycle).

http://www.turborx7.com/fuelsystem.htm

I am currently running 550/1300s, but I will probably be switching to 850/1300s soon.

Agreed that the new GTRs look pretty nice. Very throaty as well...

Well my max inj duty cycle is about 65%. So I have plenty of room for more. I'm wanting to up the boost to about 17-18psi. Just need to get my suspension done and get bigger wheels.

Ya, the thing I just loved about the GTR was the rear. When we parted the exhaust and rear bumper just looked mean.

i made 455rwhp at 15psi on a smaller t3 Gt35r .. and that was on a stock port motor so it is very likely.. if the car is tuned correctly ofcourse..

Yeah, I have scene a few 35r's in the 420+ range at 15psi. So that seems about right WITH the right tune...

I work in Franklin TN and have a customer that just sold a blk GTR.. Guy has crazy money but his 17yr kid is the one that usually drove it. Now he has some new M3 that is very nice. Dad drives a bentley, porsche GTS....There is another guy that has a 2 new Lambos', Ferrari and some gull wing mercede;s.. Too much money in the Franklin-Brentwood area. Very cool to pull into the parking lot and see these cars sitting there.

110mph when you shifted to 4th? What rpm are you shifting at and what sized tires are you running? I think my OS giken gears get somewhere close to that in 3rd at 8000rpm...

Great kill! I wish I can run into cars like that...

You are right. Brentwood/Franklin is rich as hell.

I'm probably very very wrong on the speed. I think 110 was the last thing I saw. My adrenaline was going and we were in traffic so my eyes weren't really on the tach. I shifted at about 8000rpm. I'm on stock wheels. I'll bring my car out this week and see what speed I am at at the top of 3rd. Also, I think we were on a slight decline if that would make a difference.
