Default Hmmmm question....ST 80
would a 370 iron setup be ok for a twin ST80 setup,or would i need a bigger motor....
having a little issue with my install so in the mean time i might pick up someone elses brand new one and just wondered if twins would work...

that would be too much turbo unless it was a full blown race car. even then you may need a few more cubes to keep the rpm down.

If you want to make 1600hp sure, hope you have one hell of a engine.

Umm that is over 2000hp....lol. spool up would be tough on anything other then a full blown race setup and Methanol.

My theory on Turbo sizing is pick the biggest damn turbo you are allowed. If you want the turbos to spool quicker, that is what nitrous is for (sorry, I am an import guy )

ST80....

Went 9.95@139 on 30psi. Found a big boost leak and hope to be out again this weekend to improve the time. The car is a 6 speed Toyota Supra.

I just got the unit last week. Been talking to Jose about the boost leak issues I was having. I have to say you guys treat your customers with A+ service.
