i guess we just have to give it some time and hopefully they'll make one when they got the VT2 sorted out. I wish there was a Twin turbo option can't get enough power

570 is MAHA numbers, do not confuse with dynojet # as it would be close to 600rwhp.

I asked about the VT3 (built internals), they said they would need long term data on this setup before moving to the next stage. I guess they want to see longivity of certain components before taking the next step.

When you say "this setup" do you mean the vt2 setup or a prototype vt3 setup
