Cincy, give me some of your feedback! Is a J31 profile too aggressive for the stock tip? I found one hell of a deal; J31 flashed GIAC ecu, injectors, and FPR for $600, but I want to make sure it's all good.

Brian, the GTRS series would slaughter me!

Perhaps I should go with the 2871r, as a fellow tip user is having a nice time with it?

why would it slaughter you? there are 3 or 4 guys on AZ with GTRS on their tip's, each has had it on for a while, and none are having a problem with it

At what psi? You could run a gt35r on a tip if you wanted to with the right amount of boost.

A .48 50trim would spool good and be safe on both the rods and tranny

+$100 for that gt2871r. Seems like a good deal, but I'll probably need some more necessities.

With everything added up, would the rennart turbo kit be a better deal?

A gt2871r would kill the tranny since it still has tons of low end tq. It actually takes the rods to the edge of the safty zone.
