Furthermore, it appears that the "tuner" who did this work has an inertia dyno. I would hope the car was tuned on an eddy current sydno and the Dynojet was used for bragging rights, but I doubt it.
I was all hot about twin turbos in a GT40 when I first thought about buying a GT40 kit. However, I eventually came to the conclusion that the bundle-of-snakes crossover exhaust is one of the most endearing aspects of a GT40, both visually and audibly. Twin turbos would totally screw that up, IMO. Then there's the packaging, heat management, tuning and throttle modulation issues. I wouldn't hesitate to do twin turbos on a Cobra but I don't think a GT40 is an appropriate application for turbocharging.
