I thought you'd be happy

Those by all rights should be faster than the last of the VY2 GTS's, the better low end and higher peak torque from the LS2 will make it faster in a straight line, and the brakes and Ohlins will match the GTS's handling. Then of course theres the semi racing tyres........

I'm really happy, got the latest MOTOR yesterday, APS's TT system is finished, AND it works on LS2! the LS1 gets 430kw/830ish nm, nice.

I was wondering what he'd finished, all of a sudden hes gotten back to the BOSS TT kit, which although it can get a good mph down the 1/4, the time slip is absolutely shit

There is a guy around the corner here that works on cars that we all couldnt make in 100 years together to buy all them.
He is doing a Triple turbo anyone herd of this ?.

[2ndclasscitizen]

the only triple turbo i've heard of the is diesel MB SLK320 CDI triple turbo, its got a small one of each bank, and a big sucker in the middle. don't know how it works though. the new MOTOR had it and the twin turbo diesel MB SL400 CDI but they didn't explain how the triple turbo system worked

that kit would have SO much torque its not funny. got any figures?

[fpv_gtho]

Probably upwards of 800nm for the BOSS, i think he was looking at a starter figure of 700nm for the LS1 kit. Most of his runs have gotten 130mph though, the best XR6T's are still only getting 120mph. I dont think hes done a run with slicks yet though, as those 130mph runs have all been 11 second passes. But then again, theres a guy on the XR6T forums who finally broe C&V's 10.98 record with a 10.8 on street tyres, so he can probably get low 10's there as well.

the APS kit doesn't come with wheels or suspension, so its still got the stock 18x8s

[fpv_gtho]

they dont really offer much except for the bolt on kit. A full upgrade including drivetrain, wheels and suspension would be $20K on an XR6T, probably $30K with the BOSS or LS1 stuff
