OK Steve, so what I am gathering by your statements is that the twin turbo s
are designed for those V6ers who are dedicated to the drag strip, not those
of us who are lookin for more power off the line (and more) for those
"street" situations.
My V6 like many others, is used exclusively for street use, so I'm guessing
that the Twin-Turbos are NOT what I nor other street users should be
considering?
Thanks for the responses
