Color me impressed. I had not seen that dyno run showing over 400 lb-ft torque. I'm still not convinced this is a sustainable tune. I did not mean that it was not possible, just that it would not work long term as a DD tune. I might be wrong but I guess only time will tell on that front.

These things are going to be damn impressive with a turbo upgrade.. I'd like to build one with a 6266 in T3/T04E housings. Small (.48) A/R turbine housing should get it going pretty early.

The only reason that the TQ figure is so high, is because they're maxing out the turbo. You get the big TQ surge at low RPM, but as the RPM rises, and engine airflow exceeds what the compressor can supply, the boost drops, and so does output. It's not a bad thing.. it just depends on what you're doing with the car. For a daily driver/around town/drag racing, this thing would be a blast to drive. I wouldn't go road racing with it.. but, that's just a turbo upgrade away. 
Once again...you have no evidence or basis for believing this.
Jon Lund is one of the most respected tuners in the country.
Amen.

Travis is it safe to max out the turbo like that? Would there be problems in the long run if you do that?The only reason that the TQ figure is so high, is because they're maxing out the turbo.

If you upgrade the turbo, then would you have to upgrade the intercooler too?The only reason that the TQ figure is so high, is because they're maxing out the turbo.

I'd guess that a bigger turbo makes more heat and then you start pushing the limits of the intercooler.
Could lead to a bunch of money, but you'd still be less than a base GT.
I guess it's all in what you want. :cheers:

A bigger turbo should be more efficient at those airflow levels making the air charge cooler theoretically.

Sorry! But wouldn't that to much asked to "explain" what the graphics are showing and how a tuning company is getting there? And second. If we would use this, how safe would it be to use on a daily bases?
Not everyone is use to this "paintings". I can adding numbers. But where does it shows 75 HP and 135 RWT?
What the graphic shows me, is that power is there in the beginning. So that's a tune for the tracks I think. (?) Like to see some guys having that on their engine by minus 40F in the winter. Blown the engine all over the place.
