Default what does it take to change a gtrim to an s trim

I have a gtrim kit but i have heard of peaple upgradeing the Gtrim to an strim.
is it worth it ?
will it work with the g trim bracket?
how much bigger is it?
what are the pros and cons?

i planning on forgeding the bottom end with wisco -22 or 25cc pistons
running a fm7
gtp stage 2 heads

mite even go with 370 set up but not sure
plan on running anywhere from 10 to 15 psi

most likly 10 to 12

never heard of anyone doing that conversion, i know that the s trim will not work on the g trims bracket.

go to vortechengineering.com and you'll see the specs o for both.

don't concentrate on psi, figure out how much hp you want then size your blower.

the only company that makes a bracket that will allows you to use a T-Trim..YSI-Trim (that i know of) is RMCR in Colo Springs.

There are a few users on this site that have the bracket.

My car was the beta car to make the bracket.
