HorsepowerFreaks Turbo Kit Teaser (Pics!)
92 octane pump gas today at 21 psi yielded 402whp.....on pump gas without any meth! We took it out on the street after the tune and it it feels just incredible. Letting it out on the road turns into a huge grin, this is crazy fun 
Here is the dyno graph, stay tuned for a video of the dyno run!

I have a feeling I'll be even more excited when we really see what a 35R wheel can do in a T4 exhaust housing when the pressures get big

I'm assuming you're using a T4 tangential flange and not divided housing? I haven't seen a T4 divided housing for the 35r's yet... none the less, crank up the boost and show us what ya got. =]

I think this setup will shine once above 25 psi or so, for those all out drag/highway racers however for real world driving that just seems like a very long wait for that amount of power. It seems to be about 20-30 whp and 30-40 ft lbs of tq off of what a pump gas 35R should run.

Yes, for those that hate to wait for a turbo to spool, in the lower gears it does take a split second for the big hit to occur. That pull was done in 3rd gear, so that shows a bit more lag than it would in a normal 4th gear pull. We also haven't advanced the timing in the lower rpms to improve spool characteristics. We'll do both of those and turn the boost up tomorrow.
I have mostly driven a 900+rwhp Supra, and it is never out of boost. It's all about being in the right gear at the right time. I've also never taken a person for a ride that didn't say afterward, "lag is overrated". We'll try to improve the spool characteristics tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes.
Take care,
Chris.

Nice pump fuel numbers!
Can't wait to see the race gas tune at higher boost! I'm not sure what kind of # the car was making when I went for a ride in it, but it sounds like it's even more impressive now, and this kit was amazing to begin with. I can vouch for the whole "lag factor" not really being an issue, it's all about being in the right gear at the right time. All I really noticed when I went for a ride was just the fact that when it's at WOT you're looking something like this
haha.

Thanks guys.
trevor... you'll have to come out for another ride one race fuel. Crazy!!! The dyno is booked today, so we will hopefully be dialing it in tomorrow. At around 450rwhp yesterday we had some spark blow out, but the curve goes straight up. We're swapping plugs and dropping the gap down. That was still at low boost and no timing with very little changes off our pump gas map. The way we designed our T4 flanged equal length runner manifold paired with our 3.5" downpipe and exhaust really allows the GT35R to breathe. I'm not going to speculate what this kit will make, but it will be significant.
z97219... We will have a few kits in stock next week. We are also going to give away our AEM maps for those that buy the Horsepower Kits. If you live in the Portland area, we can take you for a ride.
ifarted2... Congrats on your numbers. Very impressive. Let me know how you do at the track this weekend.
Ang Wen Yan... Thanks. That was actually at 21psi. I'd like to address the spool characteristics first before giving out the dyno run files. But I can make those available once we're done.
