Default Great Job!

Joe, you have entered another level of modding with this setup! I know you are happy to have some go with that show quality GS of yours! The numbers look real good and something you should be proud to have accomplished. Keep up the great work and enjoy it!

I want a turbo?

Looks like the car is made to go 10 miles an hour below the speed limit.....then some unassuming sucker pulls up and, WHAM!!!! Step on the gas and that ***** goes!!!

Your car is definitely one of my favorites with the show and go.

I don't know the flow charts on that particular turbo but the exducer appears to be around a .96 . Depending on your fuel system you should see 7-800whp no problem.

As far as the transmission. You came this far, why not opt for this? A little over $20,730 MSRP Pricey yes, but way baller and you won't loose as much boost pressure between shifts.

HKS USA discontinued the box over 10 years ago but from the looks of it its back on HKS JPNs p/n list.

What EFI system are you using? Autronic? AEM? FAST?

Once again, hands down one of the best examples of VIP/EXE tuning in the US to date.
goodness 20k for that tranny, with that money I can get the stroker kit and build the motor more. lol.

I'm running the stock aristo injectors with AEM fic for now, but the next stage of the motor build should change a lot and be able to get more power from the setup. the motor is very capable of more power with supporting mods.

Thanks CL for the awesome responses I'm getting. This is my first all out build and I'm very thankful that I'm able to do what I had envisioned to this car. You guys inspire me to keep building the car more.
