eh..I don't know,
probably like 469hp and 399tq

I just want enough power to still be able to see Blakes taillights after a 10 second race,
because as Azar knows, I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time.
And for those 10 seconds or less...I just hope to not spit an apex seal.

I don't remember who exactly I heard it from but, I think they stated it as "pushing 500hp" But it wasnt until recently that I seen your car. lol I was walking through the parking garage at school and seen it and stopped and looked for prolly 5 minutes as i did three laps around it. lol
Very Nice!

What kind of boost controller are you running?

How's the GT40? Do you have the ball bearing or journal bearing?
I don't think those turbos are happy unless your pushing at least 20lbs.
Must be nice...

im just running a manual guy, but my wastegate is ginormous so its bleeding off too much boost at high rpms so boost drops from 18lbs down to 14-16lbs so the hp curve doesnt keep buiding from 7000-8500 like it should. im only running a 4082 jouurnal bearing. i do think your right im kinda under its efficiency. when i went from 14 to 18 lbs it seemed much happier! what turbo you running?

An outdated GreddyT78.
I've had it for about 5 or 6 yrs.

That turbo has been through 4 engines...lol...literally.
Still no shaft play whatsoever.

I guess it's doing okay.

Yeah, I was going to today but it was being all emo and rainy like. But I did park next to a red FD. Lulz.

Maybe this upcoming season for boostage, but I have a lot of little things I need to finish before undertaking a project like that.

I stole Blake away from working on Nick's car to work on mine, so Nick's hasn't been doing much. I also stole his master cylinder.

Flying FC? I r confuzzed? OH Brandos...I look for it here in a bit. Find me my Pac-Man sticker!!

Tony, you crack me up man. And don't lie, we all know you're WAY over 500 HP, quit sandbagging.

Rob, those numbers are awesome. Almost 400 lbs/ft of torque? Nice, verrrrry nice.
