It should scoot. I'm aiming for 650-700RWHP on that setup. It will be interesting having both of these cars lol.

Even though they make similar power they're still TOTALLY different animals.

Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...

I figured the drivetrain would be sorted, you still aren't putting 700whp down through those tires though!

I agree, I want a ride too!

You are a slut.

That DSM is amazing, you will have quite the fleet. Good luck man, let me know when you are in the cities.

Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...

Thanks dudes. I finally have the car in my possession! It needs a tune badly but is plenty fine out of boost.

Here's some pictures after a quick wash and vacuum. I will be going much more into detail when I have more time (especially in the engine bay):

Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...

Yeah, I remember going out to the shootout one year in that car, having the air on the whole time was nice considering my car never had it. Those in-car adjustable Teins got to be pretty sweet as well.

Re: Tuning advice for my new GSX...

Yes the suspension is amazing in this car. I'm definitely going to road course it (and drag the RX-7 - I prob won't drag this as I don't want to break shit).

I got my appointment scheduled for DB on the 23rd! I'm excite!

I love them. I don't normally like 5 spoke wheels but these look good. I didn't realize it but another local car guy and friend with an Evo has the same wheels... oops.

Anyway, my limiting factor is going to be my injectors, and that's fine by me. No idea what 1250s are good for on E. Bryan said they were at 100% IDC at 30PSI. From what I'm reading online (so we know it's factual ) 25PSI on this setup is typically 500-550AWHP.

I'd say that's a pretty accurate number, and that's probably DD numbers, DJ would probably be in the 6xx range. With the same engine, slightly smaller turbo, I made 520awhp at 31psi at Shane's on 1600cc injectors and twin Walbros.
