Thanks for all of the great replys guys!!
Just some quick answers to some of your questions...
Richie: The turbo used is a Garrett GT3540 B.B (not massive but not small) great spool up, full boost at 21-2200 rpm.
SC430 blue: No word from Turbo, but Super Street is going to do a multi-page story in the weeks to come and the car is going to be at SEMA in Vegas. (I almost forgot the car is in Turbo mag on the 1 page ad for XS engineering) is that what you were talkin about?
Phu: Sorry, no vids but i'll be sure to get some!
The car hasn't been to the track yet....but was messin with a friend of mine that has a new M5 with atl the bolt-on's and need-less to say the SC walked nicely on him every time on the highway.
I have more pic's if your all interested...
thanks again for all the great replies

Paul, I thought Turbo mag was doing a feature on your car based on a previous thread. Just let us know when your car is going to featured in the other mag, gotta have the details!!! Beautiful Car!
Regarding the gs400. I remember Swift Racing Technologies has a 700hp package out there.

I don't think turbo is going to do one but super street is going to.
As far as GS application goes their is a simular set-up on a GS430 but it was done' as more of a show thing, (Just haveing the turbo vs going for peak power)
Swifts car as you all know is supercharged, don't quote me on this but i don't think the TT set-up exists yet, and most likely won't yeald 700hp.
TT was our original plan, but because the cramped engine bay and the amount of power that we were going for, TT's were not really an option. TT's would have been good for about 400hp because you have to use two pretty small turbos, their just isn't enough room.
The under carrage of the car looks like a work of art! every bit of space was used.
but let me tell you.... this is just the results of the first stage....second stage 700hp won't be a problem!
I'm only running 5.5 psi right now, and the Turbo can flow about 18-20psi so..we'll see!!
The tranny is the limiting factor, we thought the connecting rod's would go first but their fine, it's the tranny. It has Billet racing stall converter, and a custom valve body job but just can't handle the tourque once we start crankin the boost up
So new tranny is next!
