Hey,

I had the the AMS GT35r and Meth and it was pretty reliable for me. I had it for about 10,000 miles and the only problem i had was when I cracked my water pump in half and had a huge coolant leak... But i was doing over 140mph at the time (track). This is stock block and internals, running 28psi making 497whp and 408torque. It ****ing flew.

i was thinking about the AMS GT35R and meth, but i heard the turbo lag makes it boring for daily driving, especially in the city/side streets. now i'm going for the FP Green and meth. hopefully getting it done by the end of next month!

Low 11's, I didnt want to launch it without an upgraded trans and transfercase, although im sure high 10s is easily possible with a good driver

Trust me, 2nd gear pulls on the street are amazing.. I would stick GT35r, better gas mileage and easier to stay out of boost. Once you hit 4k RPM you are almost* gone.

I was worried about lag too, nothing like the bad you here though. I wouldn't step down from a 35r for anything.
