as an aside, how are you guys coming along with the air-to-air intercooler for your retailed system?...I'm waiting on that to pull the trigger on one of your setups.

I didn't know bugatti can do that speed in a standing mile, but now I know.

amazing work guys, and makes me feel pretty good about putting one of your retail big single turbo systems in my car...i.e. the more you push the technology to its absolute limits, the better quality deliverable you will have engineered into your retail systems.

great job!
Id like to see proof.

THat is the Bugatti's top speed, not a standing mile result

you have a point there...they are usually coming of a high speed banked curve to start the high speed run in the Buggatti tests from what I've seen.

shame we haven't heard back from Hinson on their second day of running.

Personally, even if they broke the car on the second day I think it bodes well for buying their systems, because pushing it till it breaks is how you improve an end product

Ive been waiting for years for a updated turbo setup, ended up going supercharged.
