Hmmm
16-18 psi of boost with stock twins.
So many people have said that stock
twin turbos would melt and etc with
stock twins running over 14psi.
I guess they stand corrected.
So I assumming the FD3S with street port
with injectors and rails and all BPUS..

I've always wondered about that, because I've considered some sort of upgraded twin setup. Guess I can mark that one off my list.
Do you think it is reasonable to say that his car was probably making similar power to Anthony's? Given that their runs were very close in time/mph and I believe Kevin's car was very lightened (the pictures I saw of the car suggested it had many "unnecssary" parts removed, like bumper reinforcement, his lights added, parking lights removed, no ac/ps, etc.) correct me if I'm wrong about that.
I guess what I'm getting at is I think others could scrape into the 10's with typical bolt on mods and stock engine/turbos. Just run 17+ psi, race gas, stlick, and strip the car down.

Sure, someone else could get into the 10s with the same formula, there was no snake oil involved. However Kevin has a huge amount of drag racing experience, and although Anthony has come close, no one (to my knowledge) has made it into the 10s with stock engine and turbos since Kevin, and we're talking about almost six years now.
I think that eventually someone will, given enough time and effort, but most people have trouble getting deep into the 11s with twins and end up switching to a single and jumping right over that hurdle.

Kevin Wyum handled the drag race, and Jeff Littrell drove the car on the road courses.

IMO too many people want to take the easier route (single turbo) too quickly. It's cool to see someone do a lot with a car with less expense. I think a sharp person could hit twins in an FD with perhaps $5k in mods.
Bottom line, most people aren't crazy enough to try it, because for every guy who succeeds, there will be several who fail at their attempts. And failures can be costly.
I guess that's the reasoning behind getting a single, spend more money up front, but be much more sure to get the results you want, and hopefully spend less in the long run.

I'm not into 1/4miling, but I'd like to see what times he would have been able to pull if he would have ported and polished his intake manifolds, exhaust manifold, thrown in some polished high flo or the BB twins, thrown in larger injectors and upped the boost.
