Another turbo SS hits the DFW streets!

Another turbo SS hits the DFW streets!
I live off Lake Lewisville and I'm ready to race !! I frequently travel from the Corinth area south to Lewisville and back...ocasionally around the Southlake/Keller area. Red SS with black vert... Don't be afraid to confront me...you may actually win !!
I'm going in later this week or next to get 2.5psi more added to the car. I still need to wrap the exhaust as that will help with the lag, but overall, the car is very strong when the boost kicks in and it's hella fun to drive!
I look forward to seeing y'all on the streets!

Damn...didn't think I'd get insulted for turboing my car.
I have another 2.5 psi to go and I'll kick the crap out of your H/C packages. I got over 19mpg on the last tank and that was with me in boost a lot!
I didn't want nitrous b/c I didn't want to spend $30 every freaking week or 2 on filling up a bottle. I want power when I want power...not only if my bottle is full.
Changing the valve springs detered me from doing more internal engine work...I don't have the patience for that stuff.
I guarantee my 433hp via a turbo is worth at least 450 on a comparable NA car.
So, why all the hostility?...

now take that car back to TRT and get the **** cam and some patriot heads...... be happy when you up the boost and make a bit over 500 at the wheels without worrying if the bottle is full.

I personally loved filling my bottle up every week ($52 for me) and having 550 rwhp on a cam only car. Even though I wasted more purging than actually spraying the car. I personally would of set the motor up for a turbo before actually getting the turbo. I dont think I would be able to stand lowering my horse power after having 550. Not bashing your thread just my opinion. Nice set up by the way.

Reminds me of the time I was working at the Kennedale and Billy from TRT was just starting into the rear turbo non-sense. He took his 6 speed SOM Formula out there and ran some pretty impressive 8.9's @ 88 mph with NO WHEEL SPIN and the most impressive turbo lag that i've seen since racing Supras on Gran Turismo. It was the **** boy, I Tell ya what!
