A few things to think about......where does your boost start to come on (what rpm's)? The idea is to come off the line already coming into boost, so that should give you an idea on where you need to be at.

A 3200 stall speed should be a good "streetable" stall speed. When you start playing with different turbo set ups, that may change a bit. THere really is no 1 answer on stall speed, the converters are going to react a little differently with different set ups. I changed my converter speed 3 times to try to get it dead on. I havent installed the 3rd one yet, but Im shooting for around 3200-3400 stall speed. Most companies will adjust the stall speed for you to get it right. Joe at Pro Torque has been great about doing it for me (at no charge).
Yes stock twins but only for a couple months more, I got my hands on some US spec twins with bigger injectors but I'm holding out on installing that stuff until I can afford a nice ecu management like say AEM, or HKS Pro. Not sure which one i'm doing yet. Plus I still have no boost controller, I'm running stock boost. I think I'm getting into boost right now around 2800 rpm's to 3000, not sure I will check next time I drive the car to see. Thanx for the input as always.

The car is basically stock. running stock boost and is untuned using only the jap spec ecu right now. Its 280rwhp stock where as we upgraded the cams and pulley's to the ultra light unorthadox brand, did the custom intake, did a 3 inch down pipe with 3inch piping to the back exhaust, and converted from the stock side mount to a huge front mount intercooler. converted the car to true twin instead of sequential with a Greddy boost cut and spd cut. Not exactly sure yet where we are now as far as rwhp.

As far as 1/4 time the car did 14.2 but that is the way it is now weighing in at almost 3900 lbs with 20's and all But I never boosted at the line I just hit the gas when the light went green only boosting up to mayb 3-4 psi's at the line where we now adjusted the blow off vavle and I can boost up 12-13 psi off the line now so my 60ft will be much better than before so I expect the car to easily get into the high 13's with the way its sits now. (hopefully) I topped out at 101-102 mph in my runs.

Bob we are trying to keep the blue name going and with so many Blue bests lurking around these parts, I think the color is going to be in good hands for a long time. Thanx for the cool comments and You know I can't wait to see your beast when she comes out the shop. Thanx.

Nice Hi-Def dish Adrian, is that a Phase III Muliti - Satellite and who mounted it for you? I know you have a fetish for ladders but just can't picture you up there, move that blue thing and take some close up's......................................................

Default with pics like that...

i'm surprised lexus isn't knocking on your door for an excellent example of what they really really really wanted to create but wouldn't have appealed to the mass market.

congratulations on having one of the sweetest GS's in the world. I would say that DaveGS4's gs and jtanoyo1's gs could compare.

To me this is the most amazing GS out there. I know you have put a ton of time, effort, and definately money into this beast and it definately shows, especially your attention to detail.

Adrian, as was said earlier, you ARE the Olan Mills of car pictures!!! I especially like the view from ground level behind and to the left of the car!

You're car is at the pinnacle of GS's man....
