Re: Gt 40 850 Rwhp

This certainly looks easier to use than the heffer twin turbo version... but that is like saying being stabbed is easier to take than being shot. I remember the twin turbo GT was just impossible to get off the line, and there was that spin doing a 1/4 drag, supercharging V8s certainly seems more apealing.

What I like about the GT is that unlink every other American V8s is actually has 4 valves per cylinder and 2 overhead cams per cylinder bank, saying that though, it revs no higher than the LS7 7L in the Z06.

Joe's GTTT is better, twin precision 35r's, 1000hp ATW but only runs it on race fuel.....all on stock internals.
