Can't stop thinking about twins....

like the title reads.... I'm in a constant tt 'loop' in my head. Do I invest in tt's or not. I don't need the extra rwhp, but why not add more. Current set up is 417 ci stroker. Whaddya think? Any negative reason(s) to consider? Cost is not one of them.

If cost isn't a factor then there are zero reasons why you shouldn't do it. These cars are completely different with added hp and I mean an extra 200hp makes a completely different animal and SO much more fun to drive. Quit thinking and do it

Im guessing if he already has a 417 then he has better parts than stock and there are plenty of people boosting the stock motors with zero issues so this should just add to the fun factor since its already stroked

Not sure about the compression, but I'll certainly find out. Just don't remember.

Lose the cats. Go with agp and squash return style. Choose injectors and clutch, and if you have the cash a zl1 or gforce rear diff.

What horsepower are you getting out of your current setup?

It's really like you've wasted all that money into your engine if you don't take advantage of it's potential. Ya know It wants to make 1000hp for you but is only making half that. You're engine is probably depressed and can't even work up the courage to talk to girls.

Just do it!

Swap stock intake/tb back, sell fast 102/102, cai, and headers. Pays for 1/3 or more of the turbo kit. Slap twins on, do a fore fuel system, enjoy 1000rwhp.

I had a long day yesterday. I think the cats have to go anyway on the agp kit.
Def check out the squash. Even if I didn't have on on my dinning room table I would recommend it. You get exactly what you pay for. It costs a lot but it is the best. Of course in my setup it is overkill, but I am always hearing people say they are losing fuel pressure or that on really long pulls there is a chance of leaning out.
