Scott's run shouldn't be considered a good test...his Turbo is slow.

I raced an E55 from 60-125 or so when my TT was still stock. My stock TT was slightly faster still, but not fast enough to be car lengths ahead. It is amazing to see such a big hunk of steel moving so fast along side a turbo.

I am guessing you added the blower after this article? They only stated 408 hp in the article.

Yes, that is correct.

My wife and I had dinner with Chad and his wife when I was in Cali several years ago. They are both great people and Chad congrats on 32 years not many people respect the marriage vows anymore.

ps: I thought you were going to do a project on the CGT?
