Mike's 608whp E85 LR2.3 FP red (twin scroll)
Mike had us pick his car up in Florida and bring it back for a build over the winter. It is a very clean 9 GSR that just needed some more beef to make the FP Red work the way he wanted. This is a twin scroll housing car rather than the new style single scroll. The results speak for themselves.
EnglishRacing LR2.3 with 10.8:1 compression
4 Piston ported cylinder head
Skunk2 intake manifold
2000cc injectors
Buschur Doublepumper fuel pump kit
GSC R2 camshafts
GSC valvesprings
ETS 4" intercooler
ETS exhaust
We are going to pull the Skunk2 now that the Magnus V5 has arrived and get as close to a back to back as we can. Nothing else is changing in the motor or combo at this time so it should be a pretty good comparison.

+1. I'm probably going with a Red on my build and been wondering if I should have my intake ported or wait a while to get a Magnus.

From all the testing I have done the Skunk only makes a power difference above 6000 and has a habit of killing spool below that. I have a car that lost 100 ft lbs at 5500 from stock to the ported Skunk. I imagine that when it goes back together on the Magnus it wont have that issue.
