Anything with a Gt42r on race gas becomes a real handful to just point it down the middle of the road

I learned my lesson today . . . . .
From the words of a multi national tire manufaturer
POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT CONTROL
My immediate plan of attack is to develop a strategy to manage the power delivery
Its very exciting and frustrating to realize I am going 20 mphs faster than with my Gt35 and yet the same ET - something does not add up

Just for the heck of it . . . .
I visited the horsepower caculator
You are making : 989 HP at the rear wheels and 1156 HP at the flywheel.

He is well above 615rwhp regardless of the ET. You don't trap 156mph in a 3200lb++ car without some serious hp. There is a much better formula that uses 60ft and 1/8th mile data to determine corresponding wheel HP. If Al would post his timeslip I can do the calculation.
Congrats AL 
!!! I've been following your progress and it's exciting to watch! Now all you need is some vids 
Also why go twin wastegates? Any particular reason for that??

As for the twin wastegate
Much like our stock evo - the Gt42R is a twin scroll turbine hosuing with divided chambers in the turbine
This offers you a small theortical advantage in spool up due to the seperation of the exhuast pulses
In practice - on a turbo as large as a gt42 the actual effect is limited - I have not testes it in a A - B manner to determine how much the twin scroll set up is helping
