TurboTech Race KIT Final Results
first of all awesome results man. Makes me more excited for when i can build my FI ls1. one question i did think of was why did u chose the high impedence 60's over a set of low z injectors like a 72 or 83?

because they only cost me 430 bux 
and i was planning to pull them out mid 600's rear wheel.. they were still in from when i was running on the stock computer and needed high impedance.. just turns out they are good for at least 775 so they were never remplaced.

MM, interested in that gas, and how much your inlet temps rose on pulls?
115 is not a number I am familiar, I am really just wanting to know what the motor octane is for comparison purposes.

temps were from 40 up to 50 on the 741 rwhp pull.. didnt get the 775 version.. but both were using ice... the gas is whatever he had for his racecar, still awaiting a response.

Amazing. Been wondering what a turbo V8 could do. Stumbled in here and got an eyefull. I drive a little H4 turbo, granted it THINKS its bigger than 2 liters, but geee-zuus 800 hp @ the wheel? They are gonna make you put a 'chute on that thing to track it ya know? 
MM, in your best guess, how hard is the installation to do? I am really wanting to stop going to a bottle filler-ugh. Looking at the QMP kit for a while now, and now I see this one. I like the headers look. I install my own cam ('s) heads etc..so I am quite inclined.

Also, would you be making about the same power on pump gas and a SMC Alky Kit or no? Instead of running 115 that is.
Thanks,
Charlie.

charlie, see no reason why it wouldnt.. maybe more at the same psi with the additional cooling of the alcohol
but dont forget, the car could have gone more with pump gas and the race gas.
i suspect i can get the pump number to the upper 600's without much trouble and
litterally who knows with the race gas.. untill the heads flew off i guess.
george fabricated this one on the car (prototype if you will) but there is no reason why they wont fit in as easily as shorty headers.

really its not that bad
it seems priced around with the QMP kit
let see i got two more years with their street kit.
wonder if TTi will give me a race kit if i beet the record for a street kit.
It should have read, kit was limited to owner chickening out, not limited to the crankshaft

)Of course their kit does have a Liquid IC, which we could offer as an option if someone wanted one. But on the other hand, ours is a bit more "streetable" without the piping going under the K-Member and you can keep your A/C.
Either way, both kits have nearly identical potential for power (as evidenced by the very similar dyno results). Basically, as always, it's just a matter of personal preference IMHO. As I said, George built what appears to be a really nice kit. But I would like to see how those "under the K-member" pipes look after a few thousand road miles. (ie. pot holes, speed bumps, etc.)
I still say nice job and congratulations! I can tell you this from my own current experience...830+rwtq and 750+rwhp is INSANE on the street. I'm having a blast!

but its in the neiborhood.
coarse their is alot of use who dont like ditching the AC, and i am curious on how long thats pipe will hold up under the kmember
id still like to see this kit on what it is capable of
i dont think supras have anything on us anymore.
