From all that I gathered that price was the major reason for going single and for our car and exhaust design a twin setup though more expensive is going to spool faster and give you that much more area under the curve (avg hp).

That being said, if I had a stroker to take car of the bottom end with some nice torque down in the lower rpms, a big whoopty do for a drag car. All hell can break loose in the 6-10k rpms area . Forget about low end, you launch at 5500 or more and will never see below that going down the 1/4. On my street car though give me some quick spooling twins and my AC and call me a happy camper .

It's absolutely amazing that not only are the same debates going on from two years ago, but the same answers are being pasted.

who knew?

Pulsating throttle while cruising with twins is slightly annoying, and from what I understand, it is not an issue when going with a single.

What does having a twin setup have to do with your throttle pulsating?

Maybe I missed it in the previous posts, but what is done to ensure that both turbos spool up equally?
