What gas are you going to run?

I think that would be a nice setup if you are willing to cap the torque at around 250wtq, keep it flat from wherever it hits (likely 3500-4000) to as high as you can, should be a nice safe 300whp up top and a powerband that will allow you to maximize traction and keep your intercooler and tire requirements low.


edit: did you mean the 2560 or the 2554?

for 240whp the 2554 is the better bet, up to the low 300's you would want the 2560 or 2860.

The 2560 on 93 pump. That way I don't have to stress the motor to make 240-260 whp.

Good plan:)

It should do all you needed and be easy to setup and run.

I considered it as well but decided to go for the EFR as just have to find out what it will do and how well it will do it, like I did with the Cyborg.

I think a few people are curious on the power from the 2560. As long as everything comes back from the coaters soon I should have my GTX2560r installed around the end of the month I can finally give some results to help other people better pick the size they want. Maybe that will help in your decision if its not to late.

That will be great!

I will have my EFR done before then as well so one more to compare with the others:)

Rodmoe will be sporting his EFR soon as well.

The GTX tuned by Matt at Panda worked out great.

Fun times for us all!

240whp is definitely fun in this car. It's also JUST enough to surprise many cars on the road.

I think the 2560 will be the sweet spot. It should still spool pretty quick and give gd power.
