Single Turbo Local Show Me...

With a boost controller, show me what the difference between 350 rwhp and 400+rwhp feels like.

Gotta really find out so i know how hard i wanna work for my goals (420+ rwhp) vs. exterior mods =)

who is tuning it??? you know that Steve Kan is coming down again for the week of SS8??? you missed out on the last one, dont miss out on this!!

btw, i have 375 rwhp and ive never boosted it up all the way.... but i got a drive in a 400 rwho car and it feels Scray.... i think 350 is more than enought power on the streets.. 400 is almost usable power and anything after that you need massive tires...

i couldnt grip with my stockers in 1st and 2nd... at 6 psi!! now with 285's, im doing good!! but its quiet a difference!!

350whp= not much traction
400whp is a lot slower...because that little amount of traction you did have is now gone.
