Agreed GT30's are a bit Much for a DE car infact a really good driver would probably go slower with GT30's versus a gt28 hybrid.

its not all about horsepower on the road course its spool, and under the curve power and not upsetting the suspension when the power comes on.

GT 30's would be horrible track turbos, unless the track is straight.

I like both , but prefer 16G for street/track duty.

How do you do now with your K24/18g at the track.....do what 2muchtime said to go back a gear??
