ya, its just frustrating to give details to people that have nothing but stupid comments about it. i understand they may have opinions, but i would only prefer positive and useful feedback, as this is a tech site.
regardless, im sure my neighbors will love me when i finally get the car back

So much drama over a setup. Hell beat me up a little. I plan to go turbo next and I will be using some HUGE fricken turbos as well. If full boost comes on at 5krpm then so what. I will be pushing around 20lbs and I think I would still be blasting away from some of you naysayers. Just kidding. I think you guys should let up a little and wait for the outcome.

You keep telling everyone how much lag and power they are missing out on and for the most part you've been OWNED by the STS guys 
I will agree that a GT55 even with 408 cubes isn't going to make the top 10 of street setups. But my money is on it going really fast.. But a GT55 on a 408 making less than 15lbs is going to be very soggy

This post is too funny. Reminds me back to my first DSM days when everyone said that a 20g was too big. A couple people ran it and made it fast. Than it was the T3/T4 and people doubted it. They found ways to make it work. Keep up the R & D, its people like you who stray from the norm to push this sport to new heights.
