Now that's a monster turbo. Put it on a Supra and let it spool at 8000+ RPM. BTW, what's it gonna spool at for real? 5000?

Don't know yet.. Hopefully by then. But then again, I'm now building a solid roller so 5k-5500 would not be a biggy to me now.. Hope the GMPP intake will support 8k RPM. Should..

It's kinda funny you held up that issue of Summit. Thaty car on the cover is a friend of mines car up here in Wisconsin. He got sponsered by Summit, I guess that's what happens with a promod motor in an Impala . It is pretty nuts.

Thats a big *** turbo. I think my turbos would easily fit inside of it!

my gt55 turbo was 73 lbs, so yours might be up there with mine if not heavier.

just like nitrorocket said, that cover car was built by a local guy to me. Same guy did my suspension pieces. Up and comer. He's doing a tube chassis, alky big block, 4th gen camaro that should be pretty badass! Those pictures of the Impala just don't do it justice!

Chris

PS - that turbo is HUGE!!! i vote for double it up!
