Met up with this guy at the local Krispy Kreme. Really cool guy, said he had a fully built motor w/ a GT30R turbo. Putting down about 380 on a mustang dyno.
My car has QTP Headers into Moroso Spiralflows dumped, Volant Cold Air Intake, de-baffled WS6 hood, LS6 intake, Ported TB, Untuned.
He is soon going to be running Meth and ill have my 125 shot. Should be fun. The other races are just a few of my buddies messing around.

He didn't beat you too badly, esecially considering what he's got into his car.
My friends STi has pretty bad turbo lag and its bone stock, can't imagine what a GT30r is like. Guess you have to change your driving style and hope you don't ever need a burst of acceleration in a moments notice.
Get a cam and schedule a rematch, he'll be all done

You can downshift all you want, you're still going to have a delay from the point at which you go from vacuum to zero vacuum, spool the turbo (larger = longer), and then actually get going.

You obviously don't understand what turbo lag is. Which isn't surprising in the least.

The "size" of a GT30r all depends on your point of reference. On a V8, its tiny. On a 4 banger, its huge.

It's tough to say if 380whp on that particular dyno is strong without a frame of reference. On my tuner's Mustang dyno an STI will typically put down 215-235whp depending on the year so 380whp is pretty good. Last summer they had a dyno day and I watched a brand new Lamborghini Gallardo put down 325whp and an '05 Dodge Viper put down 375whp.

Yeah the owner of the Lambo looked crushed. He didn't think our jokes exchange rates for Italian HP were too funny. The Viper guy had been their before too and he just wanted to see if he'd put down more than his friend's Zo6.
