I should be getting my car tuned in the next week or so. Trying to get something setup with Formato when I have a day off.

I got it running pretty good myself so far! 6# is feeling pretty good at the moment : )

I gotta get some suspension work done with mine. it's a little too skatey. even on the slicks it gets hairy when the juice comes in. we need to organize a track day or something soon. it's been a little dead around here lately

You guys gotta hear steves firebird too, that things gonna haul. We got the tune dialed in but its loosing fuel pressure in boost.

Crazy thing is its 8.x:1 compression and i cant beleive the crazy high advanced timing it takes on pump fuel.

Yea it runs great for having different fuel pressure everyday. Hopefully that Hx55 supports some power.

Man im kinda thinking of going twin 0n3 76mm's. This turbo, http://www.ebay.com/itm/On-3-Performance-76mm-Turbo-Camaro-LS1-LS2-LS3-LS6-LSX-Camaro-Trans-Am-6-0l-5-3l-/131072902477?pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item1e848dc54d&vxp=mtr#ht_3855wt_1292

Like if i sold my pt88 that would cover the cost of the them. I already run dual gates too. Just i feel like my pt88 will build back pressure above 16lbs and that will put more stress on my motor due to the back pressure. But if i went with twin 76's i could run dual down pipes, have new turbos, run alot lower backpresure and make a alot more power.

dual 3" would flow about the same as a single 5". I don't think it would choke you too bad
