First thing first, you are correct it won't be 11,000rpm but it will be 10,000 rpm. Mike Reichen who is going to tune my car has a Shep Dog Box and shifts at 10,000 rpm in his Evo 2 with no issues and has been doing so through his runs at the Texas mile and Maxton Mile since 2007, and the engine would last. It wouldn't be streetable, but it would last. At that point it's a full drag car. I'll just have Class One Engines do my block like Reichen's. But that's years away.

Now for the turbo It's not that simple. These aren't off the shelf parts. Both wheels are custom. It's 70mm the same size as a baby 42r. I can only compare my turbo to turbo's of similar size because I'm actually the only person with this turbo, I never stated any rpm for spoolup. There is no secret I'm withholding. So it's a 70mm compressor wheel ( it's not a Garrett 70mm P trim or 42r wheel) and Comp Turbo's turbine, which is there own design and not a Garrett turbine, with Comp Turbo's own ceramic triple ball bearing CHRA.
