naw, I actually talked to a gnx owner this weekend who used to not run one. Now his GNX was drag only, but would make 40 psi by redline of about 7500. Never made more.

He had a 350 swapped GNX that day with twin 61mm's. Running mid 9's... I think he knew a thing or two.

Would I do it no....but drag cars do sometimes do it. Big spool they just dont have enough RPMS for overly big PSI numbers by Redline.

he sized his exhuast housing perfect. In a case like that he had a designed in boost limit, all good.
