Now can we get some more info on the TT SRT??

what is different between the GTS TT kit and the SRT TT kit? Do you handle fuel the same way? Is the new motor a better starting point for mods or worse, in your opinion?

OK, the system on the SRT is very similar in terms of turbo sizing, intercooler sizing. But the way it all packages in the car is different. Different headers, different dump tubes, different exhaust, different intercooler plumbing, turbo air inlets, etc.

Fuel system design is almost the same. The Gen 3 already has top feed injectors and an external fuel rail, so we will use the stock fuel rail for up to 750 rw hp. We will probably go to a thicker rail with a dash-6 size (half inch) for applications over 750 rw hp.

The base Gen 3 motor will start at 440 rw hp, so the twin turbo system usually adds 300 rw hp on 7-8 psi on an otherwise stock motor. So I guess it does have a small amount of upside compared to a Gen 2. I think once we get to doing CNC heads (flow 330+ cfm), turbo cam and other engine mods, the upside for power will be HUGE. I dont see any reason why the Gen 3 twin turbo wont make over 1000 rw hp on 15 psi with a well built motor, heads & cam.

While it is all going pretty smoothly at this point, I dont want to get too far ahead of myself and make it sound like a cake walk. These projects are never easy and I expect to have to deal with issues sooner than later. So at this point, it appears to me that the SRT twin turbo will make just as much power and have just as much streetability as the Gen 2 twin turbos built so far. Its going to boil down to how soon it will come together. As always, testing and tuning will be the key to success on this project.

No Mercy - you have been such a good guy about this. I was planning to bring a twin turbo SRT to Colo to do some altitude testing this Fall as long as we can get there before it snows. If we get it together, I will bring the car to you and let you take it for a drive. Not a sales pitch, but a thank you.
