Christians car has no tuning ?

Joe also has a 3 row fmic, which is bringing his spool time up at least 3-500 rpms.

The shifting and tires only had to do with the track... His trap speed is up there, so it doesnt negate the fact that he had shitty launches.

The only thing I was curious to was if christian had tuning. I really dont give a damn who wins, the only thing I didnt think was too hot, was that it was kindof sparking a fight.

your just as guilty as I am for excuses :P

Yes...I'm tuned. And FWIW, my brother was on street tires too. I am well aware of launching with this setup on street tires. You can hear it in the video that he doesn't get squat for traction in second. Neither do I. I don't even remember the point I was trying to make with that post. Eh. Doesn't matter anyway.

so i take it the people that have the gotham kits are pretty happy with them. i all so understand that the stock twins can turn out some good numbers to. im still going to go with a single. i have talked to alex at gotham and he said that since i am having them build the engine and possibly going to have the rest of the work done there he could give me a pretty good deal on a turbo kit.

This thread is funny.

Btw, regarding the 12.8 at 125......that points to ~400 rwhp, with bad driving/bad launch.

Well, look at it like this. How much more volume is it? I'm sure its less that 1 cubic foot.....how long do you think it will take to fill less than one cubit foot? Now it could be that the 3 row has a different internal design with more aggressive turbulators inside, that could slow down the flow, but I doubt thats the case.

I would just go this the 2 row for the fact that the 3 row as a bigger preasure drop. which means it takes longer to spool with the 3 row.
