i dunno what to say to that. i guess its really amazing what you can do with a single 4', makes me laugh about all the guys running dual 3' on all motor builds. I cant believe you even tried it much less made that much power and boost. now with bigger motor, turbo, and exhaust.........oh boy.

on that note i have a question for yall
On the previous setup of Brian's car, the discharge was 5" and the DP was tapered down to 4" and 4" all the way out. how much restriction/horsepower loss do you think that generated? the way i understand it, it limited max boost which produced a horse power ceiling, BUT assuming he had a full 5" all the way out with a same maximum of 33psi what do yall think the difference would have been?

good point, never considered that. but on the other hand, he was still pushing 1700hp worth of exhaust through that single 4inch pipe, and thats still amazing lol.

car looks kind of naked without the factory spoiler on it lol, those tires look pretty sweet though. are you going to leave the factory floor pans tacked like that or fully weld them?
