I seen Gt 35r break 350 whp and more on the dyno on streetfire.net, and they were beating everything on the street.

Hey does your cams run like stock? I am concerned about daily driving, idle issues and over all driveability. Ticking?

Evo72man- get cams first! You will get more out of any turbo with upgraded cams, and the gains from the cams grow with a bigger turbo.

On Meth, yes, you could *i think*. If you are talking about pump gas-only numbers, you will be really wringing the IX turbo for all it's worth on a VIII engine and cams, and might barely touch that number, depending on some other factors. For a certain path to 350+whp on pump, just go with a 20G9LT/Green.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up on the driveability.

I read on the forum if you get evo 9 turbo first, it can be upgraded to a basically a 20 by changing the compressor wheel. Hopefully that helps if you decide to go with the evo 9 turbo. Pretty sure you can hit 350 whp on a 20g.

320 is not a bad number...it all depends on the dyno. A while back i dynoed at 336 on one mustang dyno. since then i have added fmic, ic piping, hks 272 cams, and different intake. The difference in feel is unbelievable. The car is way way faster than before but on a different dyno where it was tuned i only made 320. If i go to the old dyno i would expect well over 350. If numbers are all that matter then get on a high reading dynojet. BTW do the cams first. def
