      I think thats the point of any twin system

      Even those ridiculous turbo drag cars run big singles. Wish my tires would stop blowing out and my phone would stop falling in pools so I could afford a big(ger) single

        I'm betting this is just Jonny's first step in this direction.

        He knows the block is stock. But he's got a setup that can get swapped over when something breaks and he needs to upgrade.

        He's just passed Turbocharging 101 and looking to move into Turbocharging 201.

        Baby steps, gentlemen, baby steps...he ain't done yet...

              smaller twins tend to spool better for a street car. since i dont see a cage, i am guessing it is going to see mostly street duty.

              anyways, congrats on the car. looks well done. i am sure w2w took good care of the car too.

                yea, this is just the start guys. Having higher boost to justify twins means nothing, boost is boost. The twins vs single, big single vs small, etc battles are all on spool time, power up top, more down low, etc.

                My car is definitely a street car. Ill just take it to the track for fun once n a while. W2W def took care of the car, i am very happy. I actually took it on a big trip today from Port Huron out to Woodward and just got home, that was a good time! The car hits real well, but it likes to hit the limiter on the shifts, probably a tuning issue that will need to get worked out or i just need to get to know the car a bit more. Drive awesome out of boost, just like bone stock, and when i step into it i have to ask, What is lag? The car just moves and i love the hit of the torque so early.

                Running the low boost for now to get used to it and such, and it will help the rest of my car live longer as well. But dont worry, the car isnt even close to done yet... long ways to go, but atleast im in the game now and loving it!

                Woodward was sweet tonight. Drove down to Jon's house and met him and Joel and we cruised to the Potbelly and met some other guys. Was cool hanging out and such. Mike cruised back with us on the way home and it was a good time. I didnt take any pics of my car but i think Brian did and i know Jon got a pretty good video clip, maybe they can post them up!
