Do you mind sharing what sort of power figure are you guys running?

Jit

What is the after market AST he mentioned?  Aftermarket thermostat?

Jit

dont worry about the aftermarket AST...youve already got one (its the thing in the corner of the engine bay by the brake servo)

Sounds fun... sth T78ish?
 
Since we are on the power subject... I was always wondering if the FD can use a more powerful twin turbo setting. I had twin GTSS on my R32 GTR. They are responsive as hell and gives an easy 500hp. How come FD always upgrade to one large turbo ( which in theory is more laggy?)

Jit

you can get knightsports twins...theres a guy on here who has around 440ish at the flywheel with them. Or BNR Twins

I dont like quoting figures for mine its never been on a dyno,i have a t88 gk,put it this way i drive cars with 420 to 450 atw and they are quite a bit slower! The only thing with 17 they seem to go off quicker than when i tried 18s but i prefer the handling on 17 s

What width wheels are you running? That ahs a big bearing on tyre size.
For instance, I wouldn\'t be running a 255 on an 8.

9.5 front and rear

What tyres and pressure do you guys run on 255s? A lot of track day tyres don\'t have 255/35/18. Guess I need to switch to find some 17s of track day use.

I think Toyo do 265, you could run them.
