Full-race twin scroll 35R kit with HTA conversion!! ; )

That would keep the lag down and top end of normal 35R. Built engine and tuned by David Buschur (he's the only one that figured how to tune 28+psi on pump with solid result).

the problem is the GT-R will pull those numbers evey single time. You dont.
low 11 from stock .... less the 4 sec to 60 ... you need to be a hell of a driver with the hell of a car. But in th GT-R can be driven by a soccer mom who knows the 3 button set right and dont affraid to floor it.

I doubt it that the GTR is going to have Launch Control in the US, but I think you'll need about 450 hp to beat/keep up with it.

the new skylines msrp is under 80k will there be markups. More than likely.
I don't know where you guys are getting a 11.3 stock from the MotorTrend ran a 11.7. The car weighs in at 3800(mfg). It weighs as much at a gt500. And it only has 480 hp 443 ft lbs. You should be more worried about a Z06 before 1 of these. Just my .02

it is faster then a z06. handles better too. but alot heavier. so if you leave everything alone just lighten it up.... it will be a monster.
Some already call the GT-R a baby veyron... Evo doesn't stand a chance, unless it is highly modifyed vs stock GT-R.

This can be done rather easily honestly. We have numerous mid-high 500 & low 600 WHP cars running on straight 93 octane.

Here is 1 example: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=326280

the GT-R has a gearing advantige plus the better aero dynamics. but with that power, you can beat him, if you got it right. The mean time he can't mess it up , because the tranny, but you can. Wont matter how we slice it , the GT-R will be a hard battle no matter what.
