Nice video and great build! Those 272s sound good at idle. I hope to see more videos.

R154 conversion with HKS twin disk....that's the noise you hear when I'm pulling in and out of the shop. TT pistons/rods in the bottom end.

Thanks fellas. Yeah, I definitely need to put my GoPro to work. The other day I put an Aston Martin DB8 Vantage to shame on a 80-140 run.....a couple bus lengths to say the least. Priceless to see some limp **** in a $250k car get upset about getting smacked around by a little ol Lexus

Do you know if it was the 4.3 or the 4.7? My X5 could take a 4.3L from a dig.

Not sure. Recognized the look of it before we played around I was behind him. It definitely sounded aggressive, could have even been the V12 but I don't wanna make assumptions. I gotta admit, I was impressed by the exhaust notes that thing was putting out but whatever it was the v8 or 12 it was still no match lol!

The V12 has 510hp. How much power are you putting down? (Not trying to compare them lol)

I have no complaints at all, daily driving with them is fine and they sound sick through 4" exhaust We've built similiar setup's with bigger turbo's making in excess of 800whp on stock TT bottom ends and stock ported heads.
