My only question about them is this : Lets say I wanted to run them at like 10psi, how would then run? Like complete *** or would they just be really boggy? the reason I ask this is because I figure if I had them in my car, I dont think I would want to run 15+psi all day every day. Could I drop the psi down to 10 and still be happy when Im pokin around town?

I don't think some of you guys realize the performance of these things. Granted, I've got a Gotham/Kan ported motor, but any FD set up like mine should have similar performance numbers.
Do me a favor, guys. Find your favorite stretch of deserted highway with a pal riding shotgun with a stopwatch, and slow to 40 mph in 2nd gear. Punch it, and don't let off until the very top of 4th, 8000 rpm at ~140 mph. I did it consistently in 14 seconds flat, and was running 1.14 (~16.2 psi) on the power fc commander. For a frame of reference, the big bad new 500 ci 500 hp 525 torque Viper SRT-10 did it in......15.1 seconds. 'Nuff said

Reality check, check around first, I hear of lots of failuers with the BNR's . I have and will soon remove my Stage II's . I did put down 320rw on a seq. ( 13psi) set up, but they are eating up oil like crazy. I wont say who I purchased these from but they told me they are getting most of the BNR's back for repair . If you have some money to spare and alot of patience go for it.

Jspec - I totaly agree with all of the stuff you said bro, but I myself prefer the Twins. (Kill me for it, but still)
I'd go with some GT28's or 30's instead of the stock twins but I have seen the stockers make 400. I highly doubt they'll last long at that range but the fact is that it's doable.

My setup will (or should) be capable of 400+. I won't test to see how long they last at that number though... I'm hoping a nice, streetable, RELIABLE 360ish for daily stomping. I think Goodfella has the setup to beat!
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the big singles, but I can't afford that ****... LOL

Sure hes a great guy , but is he going to pay the 500 bucks to remove them and put them back in ? and my down time ? I could be bitter I have less then 2k on my stage II's and there getting taken out in two months .As for money , I think in the long run going single is cheaper than chasing these twins around
