a KAI is only 800hp and the SPL is like 900? Z is about 700 i believe. But on a car, theres a limit to how much boost you can run on pump gas, so differences in horsepower at the tyres between a SPL and a T04Z i think would be somewhat minimal. Sure ramp up the boost on C16 and the SPL will shine, but for the street, and pump gas, MEH!

Ive got the T04z on sarahs calais (RB26) as i thought it would be a good option for the street, it's ok but no were near as responsive as the (T51r HKS) and pound for pound comes no were near the same sort of power level although could be a totally different story on an rb30

The 51r is made FOR the GTR in my opinion, its awesome. But with the SOHC setup, rajab's warned me away from the 51r, they said they'd tried it and got too much compressor surge and it wouldnt make power. So i went the garrett Z (i think you influenced me that way in the beginning too shane?) i think with the extra capacity, i should get fairly decent response. Kyle made the manifold and he agreed the Z would be the best option. 22 pound, lets see how it goes.
