I'll be right behind you with the T2 swap collecting the parts that fly off your car as they break.I'll have some Vosko diff bits as paper wieghts.

You said what is better, not what will pull harder.

600hp is "better" than 500hp even if it is at 8k. And when I say better I mean better for a race car, obviously not for a street car.

Thats really what the question should be though isn't it...

Is it a drag car or a street car?

cos over ~300HP on a street car is just stupid IMO. Its unnecessary and dangerous.

Viper, F50, Z06 Corvette, Murcielago, Esprit, Carrera4, Lightning, and a few others.

All 350+HP. All street vehicles. None stupid.



But what can I do with a tired 12A?? THAT'S the Question...

I need to do a couple of dyno pulls before I start the mayhem.
