My ISP GT35R Turbo Kit
hey I got a question regarding the drivetrain. If your putting down 500-550whp do you need to worry about your drivetrain breaking if your only doing highway runs and no launching?

I like the kit though.. Spool up was nice .. overall they did a great job on the car. Good luck

Turbotrix: Thanks so much for a great tune. I was shocked at how quickly you all were able to do the tune, and the car runs beautifully!
Thanks,

I now understand why Turbotrix has such an amazing reputation for great work and good numbers!

I'd have to agree with staying on a similar tune to this.. just based on what we've seen this kit do on just 23 psi it's definitely going to pay off when the motor is built and boost is jammed up.
can't wait to catch a ride in it.

It is the Detonation and higher reving. Adding Alky gets rid of the chances by ALOT and if you keep your revs at 8000, you are fine, 500WHP is fine with a proper tune. There are nuts at 550WHP for a couple of years now on a stock block.
Detonation will kill ya, not the power (again to a point)
locam, congratz on the number!! Even though the torque is a little on the low side, it's going to be a monster once you build your motor.
BTW, I painted my headlight black, and ordered same hood as yours(kaminari).
We'll be like ISP twins! haha
