Hello all ,


picked up a 2015 GT last year and have been lurking around the forums for a bit. have a Tuner from Bama running a 93 R tune , Corsa extreme catback and Steeda Stop the hop package ,, fun car , not as quick yet as I am hoping for, but looking into a supercharger soon , since I plan on Kooks LTs looks like roush isn't an option as they only tune for catted , once you LT it voids the warranty, .. anyway I decided to add a set of MRR M350 wheels 19x11 rear 19x10 front with Nitto 555 g2s 285/35/19 front, 305/35/19 rear MUCH MUCH better than the stock summer tires ,, but now I have a set of PP rims and tires with 7000 miles on them fronts are 6/32 rears are 3/32nds lol fun summer so far ,, anyone on here need a set and what are they worth to you.
also if I can figure out how to post this pic no making fun of wheel gap !! Steeda sport progressives are on their way should be here Monday I hope! so I am not riding like a 4x4


I come from a Boosted background having 2 R33s and currently a 90 Z32TT pushing 565 RWHP 610 RWTQ on 16 PSI.. This 5.0 is different than anything I have had in the past , its crazy seeing these cars with 700 HP but only 500 FT TQ .. ..
Other than half shafts and full suspension , clutch , what else is needed to safely boost these motors and how can you get more TQ out of It.. there has got to be a combo that will provide Higher TQ numbers than what I am seeing comparable to HP produced..

well wallet not being an issue , would you suggest VMP genII ?. , or Roush and have it independently tuned for the LTs ? .. its tough to find reviews and info on Higher performance builds without it being the shop building touting it as the cats meow. ,, I live fairly close to Brennspeed and had heard good things about their abilities , But then read contradicting info on their superchargers when looking at whipple builds.. I want a flat high torque curve and don't care much for a Dyno Queen horsepower number,


anyhow I did just sneak out of work and take a few shots of my car as I said it is up like a 4x4 lol I am a sales director at a Toyota dealer so excuse the field of cars in the background Ill find a nice place to take some great pics once I get her on the springs Monday... roush spoiler went on great very good product and looks more aggressive in person than in pictures ... also we need more tire selections in 315 with 35 sidewall .. would of filled out the wheels better than the 305s wrapped on the back

VMP has a good rep among the GT500 crowd, their GenII performs well, owners rave about their customer service. Depending on your end goal, a 2300 may be all you need.
Roush makes a good package, their tunes are on the conservative side.
Whipple has a front feed 2.9 package that SAI is using on the GT SS conversions.
I have no 1st hand knowledge on any of this, both of my cars run a Whipple & custom tune.
If you live close enough to Brennspeed to take your car to them, & they have a knowledgeable tuner, he should be able to put the torque curve anywhere you want it.
You may find build info on the SVTP site, or S197forums.
