I can completely understand that!

The real question - what's faster in a straight line, the CGT or the 6TT?

CGT, easily.

I never did a standing 1/2 mile but the back straight at Sebring is 1/2 mile long and I used to get to the braking zone at the end of it doing about 145mph. If a standing start got to those same speeds that would be very impressive IMHO.

My TT had K16’s plus good intercoolers, a UMW tune, a milltek exhaust, and VP 98 fuel for what it’s worth. Entry speed onto the straight was roughly 40mph

What kind of power do you think you were making?

Test fitted a headlight I’ve painted the insides satin black. Not sure it does much for me, might look into the after halo ring type.

I thought it would rock my world but I’m ho hum on it.

The CGT would still be at the absolute top of my list if I ever hit the Powerball. As it is I don't ever even get one number right...

So I know @kamlung is going to laugh at me but here is my question:

First oil change on the 04 is coming up. While it's there, I'm thinking about dumping $8-10K into it for more ... power. It's a X50, Kline exhaust and COBB tune.

What should / could I be looking at?

Are you happy with the power delivery profile of the K24s?

My suggestion would be to go with some turbos from Kevin at UMW, along with his tune.
