i have the same question kind of. id like to have the ability to make 450-500 hp at 18psi or less but as a street car. u know a good size single with minimal lag. im not really into drag racing so id proably drive mostly at lower boost but i mean for the occasional race or if i want to take it to the track one day for 1/4 just to see what i can do.
so are there any dynos of gt40r? if it spools about as fast as 3540 but has better top end that would be nice. is rx6 capable of 450-500?
id probably need a 3 row for my purposes right? at what point would i need water injection. OR could i just use aftermarket cooling fans for ic/radiator?
and finally with one of those singles how much could i safely boost up to with 93 octane and/or 98 octane?

Well, just got the new turbo on. Wasn't what I wanted (BB GT40R w/88mm compressor from A-spec) as that turbo is still backordered. I ended up with a plain bearing GT40 with the 82mm compressor wheel. It has the .94 hot side. The 88mm compressor is not available with the .94 hot side in the plain bearing, just the 1.34 or 1.19 (special order) which IMO, is too big for street. The thing spools like mad. More info later as I get this setup tuned.
