Have a customer with one already. Looks like its putting down around the same #'s. Only thing is they sound ALOT louder. Now the GTM version makes some big power in the 80mm trim.

The GTM is the new bad boy. GTK's are smaller units, but come with the new black chrome and gun drilled cover.

Yes 80mm is the top unit and backpressure will be less then the 76GTS. Also We can use 2 different compressor covers depending on the size available.
