Default Little update (new turbo/header pics)

Just wanted to share and keep you guys update on some of the plans for this year.

New turbo
gt47-80mm ( 5" exhaust, 6" intake )


Next to my turbo from last year bit larger (what I ran the 9.59 et on)



Here is my new SP racing header, it's a bad motha! At the coaters now (closest to you in the picture)




Motor work will be discussed soon.

Chris

What kind of header were you running in the past? Boostlogic? What prompted you to change the manifold?

blaznsc4, I was running an SP modded GT42r (dual ball bearing) turbo

WebStarr, I have always run a Sound Performance header on my setups. It's the other one in those pictures. My last header was modded to fit the large frame gt42 turbo's. We're using my car as the test mule for this header. Were hoping that we see better spool with this header and it should sound pretty mean too

just pm me for my new address chris........... so you can send the old set up my way.

what kinda numbers are you looking for from this? you have to be close to the 1000hp mark. sooner or later 11 sec. SCs are going to be slow because of you. keep us posted, and keep up the good work.

That thing looks like it could suck your whole head in if you got too close.
