From this:
to this:
imagine what getting rid of 6 or 7 feet of piping will do for performance? not to mention the extra cold air the radiator gets?

what kind of power are you guys putting down? I don't know everything but it would seem if you can get 400 whp and run 11s out of a gt40 on 15lbs on stock width tires (a friend has the slips for this) upping the boost to 20 lbs or getting a slightly larger turbo and keeping boost the same would seem to be the answer. You don't need a turbo that your head will fit in to make 500hp, throw a little alky in and up the boost.

stock width tires do not fully hook up until 112-115 mph.
620rwhp at 24 psi, out of fuel.
I agree.

man I was at NOPI Nationals in Atlanta back in 06 (before the economy really took a dive) with a bunch of the FD guys in the Speed for Sale group. I remember there was this one Supra owner who was just a walking stereotype. He had trailered in his Supra. He comes up to my friend who was driving a loud cammed LS1 Camaro with a cutout and asked him if he wanted to run from a 70 roll. We all just looked at each other like "wtf, did that just happen?"
Those were the good ole days, as much as I hated NOPI I always did enjoy getting a bunch of Supra and FD owners together in one spot, the **** talk could go on for days.

I just don't see the point in 600+ hp on the street (track is different, but this is in reference to street driving) in one of these cars (tho I admit it would be a ******* blast). smaller turbo/more boost just seems like a perfectly adequate way to keep the turbo from being too laggy, if you're running out of fuel with a 600+ hp setup, you should probably think about fixing that, at 600 hp I imagine an engine failure would be catastrophic

Seriously bro, if I knew where you lived, I would come over and beat your *** right now so bad your ******* kids would feel it. Then I would **** your mom and knock her up. Then the little brother that I gave you would grow up and beat your *** every single day of your life and if you still ran your mouth I would come over and we would both beat your *** and maybe I would even **** you in the *** because I would have just gotten out of jail around that time and would need a new bitch.

In all seriousness though, lag is not an issue we're concerned about as its not a track/auto-x car. The car is being built for the texas mile/top speed runs and is more or less a weekend car.
The motor has all the fuel it needs where its at, we simply can't push any more until we put on the new intake manifold and additional injectors. Were running a conservative tune, and has been at 600+ for the past few years.

Just to show you what Nissan im up against so you would know why im worried about getting the big turbo to spool quickly

the cobrahas 650 and the 240 has a KA with a bogwarner s374 (something like that) & has 10 horses less than the cobra
that car moves out so i have no time to wait for the turbo to spool.
thsi is him vs a 1000

car wont be finished till september so i got plenty of time. But for now i got Nitto555r 275-40-17
i understand the older guys telling us that 500hp is too much for the street. But when you got half of the cars down here running 10's or slower then what can you do??

There isnt much you can but choose your races wisely or stick to your terms.. Evos are deadly on the street as you know.. from 2nd gear roll i can put down 800whp dead.. From a stop on unprepped pavement you have no chance against an AWD car so just pick your races wisely.. You win some and you lose some..
One day i am going to have 3rd gen built by Crispeed and well see what the real limits are on the street with a proper setup...
