Cause thats the ONLY way a built KB GTO will see them..   | Built KB, I am a twin turbo GTO with Spray (not used until forged). my point was to Cabro that when I forge my shortblock I will be pushing 1200rwhp. If you honestly think a KB GTO will keep up we may need to put some money on it.
Between Trakday myself and some others the KB will have a million bugs to work out before they will even stand a chance!
I know everyone is excited about this Twin Screw coming out and I am glad we will have another option for Forced Induction. If according to your post you will be pushing 1000rwtq and my car is pushing 1200rwtq it really comes down to who has the better suspension, rearend, and Drag setup. Since my car is a street car and will never be tracked it would be safe to say you would beat me at the track as I only drag once in a blue moon. Not everyone cares about 1/4 mile times.

| Here is my dream build which I already have...
Built iron 408
TH400 tranny
ETP Heads
Twin GT2R turbos (74mm)
Custom Moser 9" SRA conversion
10pt roll cage
Lots of stupid high end parts
Who cares how much power it makes... it goes 9.60 on the rev limiter. It WILL go 8.50s when I turn the boost up!!!
Hows that!?

| LQ9 Iron Block Forged, top quality stuff.
Best Built transmission I can find.
2.6L or 2.8HH Kenne Bell OR SNL front mount single turbo w/ supporting
fuel systems.
Either an 8.8 or the 9 point rear end that is being worked on atm
Mini tubbed to fit some big boys out back.
SCSS Gator Pod gauges all around.
Formato Tune.
That will be my dream setup, my mean street machine.

| My dream build would be a forged 402 LS2.
The KB 2.8 or maybe a Procharger (KB is the first choice!)
An 8.8 rear end conversion with DS and axles.
A kick ass fuel system.
Some more SCSS gauges.
Build my M6 when it goes out.
Maybe put a little nitrous shot back on it to show Daniel whats up with the KBs  Lol JK man :gears: |
