My mistake. Yea, 500hp in an FB would be nuts trying to control on the streets... how much does a FB weigh anyways?
Between 2300-2500lbs. depends on the model you have.

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


Ignorance is starting to show a little bit. Just look at the list you just made. Why would you even list a truck? As for the others. How many of them do you see on the road? most of them weigh more then my house. I had a rx7 that broke the 300hp mark. Flipped it 2 and a half times. I can honestly say if it is just for the street then it is way too much power. If it is for the track then by all means go for it!
to point out "Ignorance",



You didn't read either the remark before mine or the rest of my remark.



As far as seeing them on a daily basis, I "see" two Lightnings an '02 and an '03

on a daily basis. I see at least one Z06 a month. The Lambo, Ferrari, Lotus, Dodge,

and Porsche I see on a regular basis (three to four months) are owned by customers

of mine.



I will restate my opinion on what really matters to me.



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.

You could give it a rebuild then give it a blow-thru setup.That would move nicely.
