I wasn't saying that twins do not produce respectable tourque numbers, but that 360rwtq gain still blows my mind. But on the other hand dynos don't win races.
Personally I think that twins just make more sense on a V engine.

Let's all bookmark May 31st and try to be at the shootout.

If everything falls into place I will be showing up with twins.

Like i said, it's all packaging. IMHO, unless you're making close to 200HP per liter it's not a Serious turbo car. I'm not there yet, but then again it's not May yet <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

let's just say i'm staying twins, small cubes, and shooting for 200 HP/L <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

But i will say, there'll be an Incon kit for sale in the near future <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I don't wanna give away the secret just yet, there's money to be made <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

i thought we are talking about ls1's on this forum?

show me a car doing 800rw and i'll worry about fitting a turbo on the car that can do 900, then at 900, try for a grand and so on... so at this point in the game having turbos that can support 1300hp is a waste of effort, not to mention less eficcient for the 5-800 that is possibe.
