    Anyone running a twin turbo?

    As I build my wish list I am curious what options are available that fit back there and what exhaust you are running with it.

    I plan to on mine in the future, but it will be a long ways away before I get to that point.

    I am curious if anyone has done it. I hear a lot of cons running twin turbos on aluminum blocks but I thought I saw one on a GTM but I can't find any info.

    Just thinking out loud.

    Great....Thank you.

    I read through the whole thread and it looks like the engine is built with an iron block.

    Correct??

    My main concern is keeping that much power on the road. Everything I read about the GTM and owners is that many warn new buyers about the rear end wanting to come around.

    Just curious if this is a straight race car or also intend on street use.

    I set my HP goal around 800 for a start while I get accustomed to a mid engine car this is that light.

    Curious minds want to know. . . . if 800hp is your goal, what is the objective? Standing mile? Drag car? Show car?

    I am actually fighting two temptations that are always inside of me.....

    Strip car....standing mile and drag....

    Street Machine....

    I haven't decided where this car will fall so I am doing research.
