Atkins diet, GT35, 255lph, etc.... That's uber fun on the street. Anything else, you'll have to clarify what you're looking for.

As in maybe 300+KW Thats probably Nearly around 500HP

But as nearly an everyday or a few times a week driver how long would it last ? or could you just turn down the boost and specific's for it to run normally on a day to day basis and unleash it when nessassry ?

Simplistically, yes, you could set it up to the 5-600HP and still trek around town... Drop the boost down to below the 'conservative' level and you're talking about something probably won't move your gas-gauge anymore than normal.



NOT so simply? No. The reason for THIS response is that when tuning (ANY internal combustion engine)you're dialing the car in for a certain range of usage (daily, aggressive street, full track, etc.) and with that tuning comes the mapping that gives you certain output numbers.



The easy way to explain this may seem WAY over the top, but the point is easier to make: A 750bhp, track-tuned monster is tuned for JUST that purpose and trying to REtune it to handle, say, 12% throttle with the engine under 35% load (normal acceleration, in town) would be a nightmare because the maps that are tuned into this car are for closer to 90+% throttle and full load. This is how the car is tuned and going an additional step could be a major PITA.



Inversely, many pieces of tuning software enable you to drop from map to map, as wanted or needed. This is GREAT, as long as your boost level down to where said map was tuned.
