 Ok, I'll look at getting the larger housing. The car weighs 3250 with
driver and the best time is 12.2 @113. The motor's already made 293 whp
uncorrected down at MAC with my old 50 trim T04E/stageIII T3 turbo on race
gas. My current 034efi high output turbo makes way more power at 30 lbs of
boost than that turbo ever could dream of. The car has a header I custom
built for the 10v, and I'll be running one of Javad's headers on the 20v.
So, having said all that, the dyno session will decide alot. Who knows, I
could come in high and based off alot of what I'm hearing it may not make
sense to change setups. I doubt it though :)

Sorry, one more question on the clutch. Is the centerforce disk you have
metalic or organic? I know Javad has some good stuff, but I'm trying make
due with all the parts I have sitting around. Just my Kennedy disk with a
stock CQ PP has held up to all the abuse so far, so I'm hoping the extra
clamping force of the Centerforce will hold the extra power.
Thanks,
