Considering that Duttweiler is using Precision Turbo Stuff on some of his customers cars including Ed's/ Hal's, maybe there is a chance for us to all get along!

Maybe Joe, Patrick or Harry from Precision Turbo can chime in with the turbos on that car.
They are GT Series not sure if 42,45 or 47s like Lynch runs.

We have been hearing great stuff about Precision's GT Race Turbos!
Maybe one day we can get a full list of the GT Series Stuff?

http://members.cox.net/laurenludwig/thorton.mpeg

Here's a video of him testing the 2-step in the pits after changing the motor @ 1 am, when he pushed all the water onto the track and about lost the car at the 1000' mark while still running 6.51@118.

BadASS!!!
