After rereading it, I do agree that you need to have been a Forced Inductions customer to qualify. I'm glad I went though Jose for my turbos

Ok guys lets clarify this some.....

$500 goes to whoever can get on our top gun list and stay in the #1 spot for 1 full year.

$1000 goes to anyone that car break 1400rwhp with a LSX car.

This is limited to street cars.....only. We know the race cars can do it.

Definition of street car:

Titled, insurance, can be used as a daily driver, no slicks ( DOT tire), stock style suspension, no tubs or mini-tubs, full exhaust (Cats optional since some states don't check), and a factory style interior ( no sheetmetal pans, gutted dashes, Aluminum race seats)

Let the games begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Reason for this was we keep seeing daily driven Supra's (3.0L and 3.4L strokers) making over 1300-1400rwhp and they are tame setups . Their is no reason we can't do it with big engines, bigger turbos...etc. Time for the LSX crowd to step it up.

I agree with everything in there except the mini tubs. Mine won't ever hit 1400, so this doesn't apply to me. I've seen lots of sweet vettes mini tubbed because they want to fit wider or deeper dish wheels. I'd say as long as it's stock suspension and fits in with what you said above that would be cool.

I agree with everything there except the aluminum seats..... i was everything on that list for a whole YR last YR daily driving it, because it was all i had... in rain, sleet or snow......45 miles to and from work everyday.... I know you know that

Its Ok because i really want to Race alot this YR.

I think a lsx motor putting down 1000 whp would take the supra on the highway putting down 1300 rwhp since the lsx power would hit way sooner and the supra would have a hard time catching up?? Do people agree? They need the peak numbers to brag and to play the catchup game..

They do have great peak #'s, but people don't realize they may not spool till about 5500-6K, but they spin the engines to 10K. That is about 4K worth of rpm they have to play with. That is the same as a LSX spooling around 3K rpms and going to 7K. Spooling a big 91mm on a LSX at 3K isn't going to happen.

If you guys have bought some of our turbos and products and would like to be added to our new customer gallery we are working on, shoot us an e-mail with info and pics, dyno charts, timeslips....whatever your heart desires.

Also if you got what it takes to get on the Top Gun list, with one of our units and become the new #1 Top Gun you can claim an easy $500 bucks if you can survive a full year on top . If you can break 1400rwhp you will get $1000. We are limiting this to street cars though.....no full on drag cars. We already have plenty of customers with full drag cars making more then the top spot, but we want this to be a challenge, of power and streetability.

E-mail it to:

sales@turbodiesels.net
great customer service imo-

I couldn't imagine 1400rwhp. There's a few cars locally that do it, but they're Ford GTs with huge twins. The only other thing that comes close is a GTO that made 1098.

Yeah but that GTO has Twin 70's. Taigo already proved that. Plus I dont think that GTO bought his turbos from forcedinductions.

I am sure someone can get a 408 S91 combo to hit 1400rwhp even if its once on a dyno. I am putting Murillo to the tuning task on my car.

A 91 is going to have one hell of a task hitting 1400whp its rated for just shy of 1600 under ideal conditions so if you are using a m6 with lets say 12% drive train loss thats just barely over 1400whp

Step up to a 95

I believe your talking about Steve in Florida. I think he bought the 70's from Jose a long time ago. He buys quite a few parts from us.

We are working on some compact sized thumpers soon. It will be another month or so though before we get them finished. They will incoporate the latest in ETT technology.
