Orly?

Last time i checked this is the new member introduction section. Furthermore, my posts in the new member introduction section containmore valuable information than any of your mis-information, **** slinging 2nd hand garbage information and or bullsh1t you make up in each post you make. I don't know who pissed in your cheerios but as far as i'm concerned no one gives 2 ***** about a tenth of the so called facts you sling. You sir, are a mis-informed poser.

Yes, welcome..back. You can definitley get 500whp with that Holset.
BTW, it's not difficult to convert your GST into a GSX if you wanted to. In your case, there's justification in doing the swap, otherwise, I'd say just buy one, lol. They are heavier, but not that heavy. The AWD makes up for the weight in terms of times on the track. IMO, the best thing about AWD is that you race anytime and anywhere...without slicks. The best thing about 2WD is there isn't the drivetrain drag. There's fractions of a second that an AWD drivetrain losses because of drag. So, if you want an interstate or roll queen, go with a 2WD car and if you want an anytime, anyday, and any weather car, go with an AWD.
A friend of mine converted his spyder gs-t into awd, it was a lot of work, a lot more than he had ever expected. He needed a new subframe, transmission, driveshaft, everything, and it took him almost a year to do it and over $3,000. To this day, he regrets it unfortunately. I'll probably just stick to the FWD, Idon't drive it in the winter, and it's my daily driver so it sucks to have it undriveable for a period of time. It's a good idea if someone was up for it, but I could just spend the $800 for a nice set of slicks and rims and then put a little bit into suspension and my wheel hopping would be gone and I'd be trapping high and weighing less. It's a struggle either way, I just get mad that all of my friends who have GSX's think their car is sooo much faster than mine when mine's trapping higher. It'd be nice to have that AWD ego boost to be gone and have a FWD stomp their AWD. Pride, sweet pride lol.

Lol, I know what you mean about that pride. Out of the hole, AWD>FWD, down the stretch FWD>AWD.
