David Buschur's switch to the "big" turbo....
This turbo sounds like the 50 trim alternative im looking for, I couldnt justify spending a turbo kit price for 50 trim HP levels. If this turbo can hit 420 whp or above on daves dyno with 93 octane and meth Ill buy one.
Way off topic............David I have the old COP set up of yours, can I add the new ignition box you have to the old set up?

Complete street form, Yokahama Neova tires, drove it to the track and drove it home. Full interior and the TV on.
Trent drove the car to a 10.17 at 139.89 mph tonight.

Actually, I have a feeling I know..

What metal is this new, larger, higher-inertia LT wheel made of? You had mentioned a 500 RPM slower spool, compared to the standard 20G-9-5, on the original versions of the LT. Have you been able to improve spool a bit more on the final production units.
I'll probably opt for the original 20G-9-5 as quick spool is important to me, although the big HP numbers of the LT are very tempting. Anyone wanna sell their old style 20G-9-5 yet?..... Maybe I can pick up a good used one.

I don't know what the new turbine wheel is made of, I haven't asked.
The spool up is about 500 rpm later, 20 psi at around 3500-3600 rpm, with the LT.
My original 20g-9-5 has been sold for a few weeks already. The one off the Time Attack car also sold instantly. Right now there is one left here that is on Trent's car, that one will be for sale in time but not until winter. Trent is going nuts over the winter and we intend to build a daily driver with A/C, power windows, door beams and airbags that will run Mid-9's at close to 150 mph for him. He spends a lot of time street racing
I see the current 20g-9-5's staying in the $1300 range like they are and the new LT being in the $1700 range.
I dyno'd Curt Brown's EVO yesterday with the new LT on it. He is going to attempt to run 9's on it this week or next week. On the stock turbo maxed out we made 390 whp and 320 ft lbs of torque. With the new LT we made 431 whp and 426 ft lbs of torque.
