Mike Great numbers!!!! WOW ..... I do think your next mod should be CDC hood struts..... thought that hood prop was going to pop off when the car was shaking on the dyno hehe.

I had the MRT ones, but they warped my hood when it was shut. Maybe if I switch to a different hood I will think about putting them back on. they sure were nice to have.


Carefull what you offer..... you're on!

lol... yeah, i knew we would be meeting up anyway... :)

An additional feature about this setup that I like, is that the heavy parts of the kit, the Mitsu 54's, are located as low as physically possible on the vehicle, and behind the engine and front axle, making for the least amount of added front weight and for the lowest center of gravity, both providing better handling characteristics than a single turbo setup puts the big turbo high in the engine bay, and in front of the engine/front axle, with the reverse effects. The intercooler is a wash with other installs, so it cancels out of the equation. Sweet!

Well, took it to baytown and did two runs. First one was a 12.463 at 115.72 and second was 12.537 at 116.86 BUT that was on street tires and traction sucked. 60 ft times were just sad (2.02)
Never realized how much our cars weigh either. Had a full tank of gas and the car weighed in at a hefty 3950 lbs.

I'll have a video later today.
