Hey... I have a '14 SHO with this combo: GH e30 tune, EVO HPFP, K&N filter, GH IC, AD Trans Mounts, Catless DPs, X-Pipe, Chambered Mufflers. The best non-track Dragy time is 12.36 @ 114.7 (1/4), 2.02 60', 8.06 @ 90.6 (1/8). I've been going back and forth with the idea of upgrading my turbos. Thinking GH, AJP, or Turbo Bay, but at $3K, trying to convince myself the juice is worth the squeeze. I'd like to be solidly in the 11s (Non-track), like 11.8 or faster. Thanks! What are your thoughts?

I have basically all the same bolt ones as you, catted pipes stock exhaust though.. I'm tuned by ajp stock turbo's best ET 11.8 at 118 .. With upgrade turbo's 11.77 @122mph full weight on a track..My sixty foot aren't as good with the upgrade turbo's.. Are They worth the price? I picked up a tenth and 4 mph it pulls like a freight train..

Were both times on the track? My times were on the Dragy. One tenth and 4mph for $3k worth it to you?

I only do full runs on the track.. I'm sure I can get more out of it but it's a conservative tune. I thought it was worth it. It sounds awesome and runs real good..

Can you use more ethanol if the hpfp and lpfp are upgraded?
The HPFP with the GH turbos on e30 with make more power than the stock motor can handle. BUT you can use meth just for cooling and cleaning at the same time. You don't need a lot just go until you almost bottom out your short term fuel trims.
