Competition has gotten the best of me [twin turbo]
Well, for those of you that know me, it is apparent that I am a VERY COMPETITIVE person especially when it comes to cars. Well, I just got in contact with a friend of mine that I used to work with. Turns out he had a supercharged Lexus GS400 putting down around 800hp. Well, the competitive spirit of me kicked in when I heard that and I went to work on my mustang. My new engine displacing 408ci and putting out 575+ hp with some nitrous ought to take care of that. Well, turns out there is another car he knows of which has been modded recently for a twin turbo setup and should put around 1,000hp to a flywheel. So, naturally the competitive bug bit again and I am tearing down my 408 engine and lowering compression, changing cam (yeah, so this car only has one cam.... 
), etc and slapping on 2 turbos. Ill keep you all updated as to the progress....

any more details of the GS400? like a web page link?
I'd hate to go surf clublexus.com, everything is bizarre...
like I'd have to replace every word of V.V.T-I with V.T.E.C
when reading the posts.
