Thanks for posting up some info on your 3.8 Alex! It feels like I've been waiting forever to hear about this car. Your car is a full GT800 with all the nasty fuel system and GT30 turbos correct? Have you tried a GT28 based turbo on a 3.8 build? Your car looks awesome - especially love those 335 RA1s. They really give the car a menacing stance. Would be great to see a vid of your car ripping from a stand still. Excellent Job. [edit] How much does the 3.8 help with lag when moving from a GT28 to a GT30? Also, what is your redline with the 3.8 build? THANKS!

Keep the GT30's....the engine is built so why limit the power. What is this car putting down, 800 plus?

Electronic Fuel Pressure Gauge.

Honestly I've thought about putting one in my car myself. I had one in my old Supercharged Cobra to always make sure I wasn't going to starve the car of fuel.

Hey mike, cheers for the kind words.. It's been a fun car and since its completion late summer of 07 I've been having a blast! I'm honestly retired from drag racing

My 3.8 build is with the GT800s... and having the same turbos with the 3.6 before I can honestly say it's helped quite a bit with the lag. I'm making 40 foot pounds of torque and 200rpms sooner. Mike@EVO has the charts but it did 730awhp at 21.6 psi on 109. I usually run it like that or with 91 and 18 psi... My high boost days are OVER! Long gone... Mike's set up with the 28s is insanely fast spooling and maybe even more fun (i'll let him him speak though since he's driven both so much).

With the tuning that EVO/GIAC did the car feels great with the 30s. The 3.8 helps considerably... Depending on boost although 21.6psi is what they did with 730ish AWHP.

hey dude, yup with the fuel system I have we figured it'd be wise to have a fuel pressure gauge. Very useful...
