Gt37r on the street

I am seriously considering the gt37r kit that AMS has to offer. My only concern is thatthe car is a daily driver, and i HATE too much lag.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with driving a car equipped with one of these turbo's??? How does the car respond under normal driving conditions??? How practical is it to use this turbo, on a car that rearly sees the highway???
I realy just need the power for race days, and i would like to stay all boost. 550hp is not enough

Unless you plan on running your car to 10,000rpms, I would say this turbo isnt for you.

I personally feel the 35r is as big as one should go on the street. If you need more for special occasions spray it. 750whp not a problem.

2.3L with 35/37R is what I think an ultimate street setup.

no man a 2.4L from mines with a 37R would be the ultimate street setup you should have full boost 350rpm before the 2.3L.
