If there isnt that much difference in getting the power to build on it I might try that instead of the 72

Damn man, you planning on spooling this thing with nitrous?? If you're going that big (T76) I guess the car is going to be Drag only??

Nah, its a street car that I daily drive. I'm wanting to get as close as possible to 500rw on pump gas. I've been doing some research and I think I can live with a T72 in terms of lag. I think it'll do better than some people think

Ya, you may get it to spool, but I doubt it in 1st gear unless you use a very small hot side? I just don't see why this is worth your while for a street car? What good does a peak of 500 rwhp do you if the thing doesn't spool worth a ****? I know you understand calculus, think about this in terms of integrals and area under the curve, especially for a daily driven street car.

Of course, I've never tried it, so what do I know
