Video's and pix coming this weekend when I get a chance to really open it up. Took it out tonight on a local asphalt backroad hit about 160 and could not believe the pull, freaking incredible. I added the "Boost by Gear" by Motec and it hits about 650hp in 1st, 750hp in 2nd and 1000hp in 3rd. Upon deceleration I noticed a sheriff coming up from behind, fast. I pulled over and he came up and said"Holy Jesus Christ, what do you have in that thing?" " I was coming at you from the right at the past intersection and had I gotten a lock on you, you would be getting a ticket. I was hoping you would pull over to see what you had in that thing." Whew, that was too close. I will need different tires, even with all wheel drive I lost traction in the first 3 gears. The sound is incredible. It is actually quieter in the car, but I am told by my neighbor that it is much louder from the rear. "But sounds great" are his words. More to come.

Looks great! Congrats! I think you have the same problem as me, youre gonna wanna go back to 19's with TOYOS. I came across 2 lanes of traffic @ only 16psi on 20s!

Allan, I agree, which ones are you running? I like the look of the 20" but no one makes good hook up tires that I am aware. Any other tips you have since you have had lots of experience with these TT's?

Allen, Did you ( or anyone) ever try any Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires? They come in a 20" and the read on them looks pretty good.

Thats what Im running.. They hook well enough on pump (850rwhp)... on my 100 setting there is not a prayer, 3rd and 4th is scary and I didnt even try 5th.

In looking at the 20" Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires the Rear 315/25/ZR20 are 26.38" in diameter, the front 245/30/ZR20 are 25.83" in diameter, on a AWD G will that difference affect anything negatively?

I have 255's on the front I believe...
