well people fail to understand that you don't really use all that hp on the street. You have a turbo and a thing called a boost control . I was going to change from the single anyway, and opted to go single and do if right one time and done. I don't plan to keep on changing combinations and hp ratings every month, but I do know that fd can make the power if tuned and combined with the right parts, and still stay streetable. I guess what I hate the most is the fact that people say it can't be done where I'm from, and since I'm in a rebuild I decided I actually want it there.Yes I could go for 400, but for a few bucks more i can go 500 and make myself happy.And murder the **** out of some of these skylines here . but know hard feeling taken to your comment, thats why I posted, for honest replys and opinions.



Thanks again works2r

I don't know anyone personally, but if you search the dyno sheets over on the other forum, you'll find a few guys. Not sure where the best place to get it would be. Umm, lets see perfect driver and conditions with 365rwhp can hit damn close if not into the 11's.
so imagine 500whp .........

500hp will get you well into the 10's even without slicks

nitrous setup is the only way to solve your 500hp with a quick spool up

Nitrous will just make it spool quicker, its not needed though. Seriously by 4000-4500 rpms, you'll be saying what lag. I ran the apexi kit for a couple years, its one of the smaller turbo kits that spools very quick. I got bored of only having 385rwhp and upgraded to a t-62-1. Sure it took longer to build up the boost, but it made an easy 50rwhp more and pulled forever. I'm not sure I really wanted much more power than that. I ran auto-x tires on the street to give me sticky rubber and I would spin the tires all the way to 60mph.
