Looking for professional and experienced opinions on FP green or red for track car

mods are in my sig i originally and still want to go with HTA green but i dont know much about the red. the car already make 350whp on the stock turbo i think it would be most benificial to have all the spool i can get rather than straightaway speed type turbos. i understand the red is supposed to be very similar producing more hp but i'd like to get some opinions. the car is ready to race i think other than adding a turbo for a little more power. i dont need it but i'd like to look into getting one of the two for my next adder

if your talking about auto xin or time attack - I would get a stroker kit for the motor (2.3) before I upgraded the turbo.

If your auto xin though - you want torque and a fast spoolin turbo - you could almost add a stroker and leave the stocker on it if thats the style racing your doing. The torque will be amazing....

for drag the red can get you into 10's with minimal weight reduction. And 9's with a full out diet.

Definitely depends on the race type.

Probably better answers in the motorsports forum, but I'd say it depends on the size of the track for R/R. Bigger tracks for me get the FP Black nod, and smaller(read twistier) get the HTA Green. The Black would work best with a stroker. (I'm gonna try it on the stocker first) Of course this all depends of the driver mod, and suspension/wheel/brake set up. Good Luck!

HENCE I WOULD ADD A STROKER MOTOR, especially for a road race car, dd, or auto x car.

get that done before the turbo man, you will never look back and you will be wet in the pants when you see how much torque you add

FP RED would be the turbo that would give you the best combo for the straights, quicker spooling and still provide the grunt you would need.
