got my GT35/40! :)

Poweraxel has added another turbo to his FD!! got my GT35/40 from A-spec...sweet!!! i got the downpipe jet-coated, polished manifold, waste gate re-routed..etc...it spools up quick..quite similar to the RX-6 but has top end like a beast.....
Through all my single turbo set-ups ive had... this is by far the best one of them all...fast spool -up with great top end
so far i been running 18-19 psi on 93 octane

im goona hook-up my 4 crane boxes and 4 4 LX92 coils next week...after that i plan on going on the dyno with "STEVECOD"...ill do a 18-19 psi run on 93 octane and a 21-22 run on race gas c116

I highly recommend this set-up ...it spools up like a RX-6 but stays alive like the T78 (19 psi so far)...i will push it harder soon

Steve, I have heard the gt 3540 doesn't have near the power as the T-78...but does spool quick...I am very interested in your dyno numbers..Please let us know...

the GT35/40 feels like it pulls just like the T-78 at 19psi...easily....i havent pushed it over 19psi yet...

as i said it spools up crazy fast and pulls like crazy...

through all the turbo kits ive had this is by far the best of both worlds....

i highly recommend this kit for any street/strip FD

mine is sitting in a box waiting for some spare time on my part to instal it along with mt new e6k.

would have been done, but it sat in customs for a few weeks. value of eveything i picked up from Tim at RPM was a bit much to just fly through customs without them getting their panties in a bunch. hope my results are good.

glad you are happy with yours.

Is it safe to run that much boost on pump gas?

That's kind of pushing it. 17-18 PSI is my limit, but 19 is only 1 PSI higher. You have to be worried about varying quality at gas stations, etc.

What's up Chris...#'s working out pretty good. Still waiting for Poweraxel to completely get his car up and running so we can mess around w/ the Vette guys.

Can't wait, Steve, come on and get off your lazy-*** and finish your car.

Hey Mark.! Glad to hear from you. I found out about those 2 vette guys..The (silver C5) has 360 rwhp. Dave (Z06) has 425 rwhp without spray and he should have about 550 rwhp with spray. Steve needs about 460 rwhp to run with him if he is spraying..about 360 rwhp without...You need 290 rwhp to beat the C5..lol
