Ideally I would love to do the ETS TS T3 Kit with a 3586, however, I may choose to stay stock frame and go with a DBB Red.

Honestly I can't say for sure as I know I'll change my mind, and by then, there will most likely be other options out there.

I would just like a turbo that will compliment the rest of my setup.
T3 Setup. You will be happy you did! I hate how the stock frame turbochargers fall towards red line. The larger turbocharger will pull all the way to red line and still want to pull. It makes a huge difference on top end.

Thanks!

Per the car-

I should qualify the statement a little I guess. Stock port head with 1mm over valves. This amounts to about dick really and therefore is more or less a stock head. I will get the dyno sheets up later. They did lose down low vs the Kelfords but there are 2 reasons I think this happened.

1- AMS VSR intake manifold

2- Stock head

What we found with Andrew's motor going from S2s to R2s it picked up globally so I dont think its a case of cams are so huge it lost, its combination differences. Throwing a Magnus on the car will make a difference I feel. Comparing the car in question to an S2/Magnus car it was definitely spooling later as it was and the R2s just compounded it.

Funny how that works when things are all engineered to work together and then remove one key piece.

Aaron, I'd really like to get your take on the S2 vs R2 cams. I will hopefully be in a position to tackle (my hopefully last) tweak to my setup later this year. I currently run Kelford 272s, which I'm not all that enthused about ... they're ok, but TBH, I miss my the spool of my HKS280s. I run an AMS VSR and AMS (headgames) ported head and built 2.0 (9.2K fuel cut). Any feedback you could provide in regards to how the spool characteristics of the S2/R2/KF272 compare would be greatly appreciated.

^ Wow, somehow I never saw your response. Thank you for posting the link, as I generally avoid any and all auto trans threads.
