Expecting over 500rwhp on pump gas at 15psi. Im sure all that haters out there will chime in. Some tuners are afraid to even tune the Reactive Racing kits for fear they will make more power then other shop kits. Just ask Steve Kan....

im gonna hold on to the turbo specs right now.

And I honestly dont think the lag will be bad...due to the design of the turbo...only time will tell

And honestly how do you know what kind of lag it will have. You know NOTHING about the turbos...

And for thoes of you asking what rpm i will see boost...i honestly dont know. These turbos were custom built for me...so i should be the first using this exact combination.

I honestly dont know how y'all can say these things when you dont know anything about the turbos!

I honestly dont think lag is going to be a Major concern.

The car is going to be set up for drag racing primarily (jerico 4 speed...etc..) so lag isnt even a huge concern to me. Sure it wolnt spool like my old t04s. But then again the forum said that turbo would be laggy with a 1.0 a/r on an unported motor.

I honestly dont even want to get into that issue. We shall see when the car is finished!

Isn't an "r-85" based on a GT3540?
I'm probably wrong, but those turbos don't look like like a GT35R?

The R85 isn't based on Garrett turbos but a decent comparison is the GT40R.

I know IGY's car with twin T04S's and the wrong size exhaust housings was over 400 hp at 12 psi so Bobby's car should do much better.

Besides...my thoughs are when you can tune a car like Demetrios can...then you have room to talk.

How are you planning on doing the exhaust?

And this is just a thought on twins, is it better to just run one turbo from one rotor, or to combine the exhaust gasses and then split it off? Its seems like two turbos would be hard to control.

Wow, looks ridiculous to me. To revive a question asked earlier, is each turbo spooled by a rotor individually or does the manifold collect then divide?

At what point do you need to upgrade the UIM & LIM to support such a huge volume of air? Wouldn't they be a restriction with that much air?
