The only time you drive that thing is to the shop to make it faster.

Ever think of driving it on the street or racing it?

The car will be for sale after I get it back.The person that took the car has a daily driven 540rwhp GN on pump gas.I figure 450-500hp out of this one.

20 psi is really nothing for that car.
It can easily go higher.
I had my 2.2 tuned for 20 psi, which I ran on the street with pump gas easily.

The 3.8 is even more easily tunable than the Mopar 2.2/5 or where a turbo kit is installed on a vehicle that did not come with a turbo.

The car is built to handle 24-26psi.The problem is I do not want to run race gas.The motor was built to handle 600-700rwhp with the right turbo setup.I'd be happy with 450-500.

Yeah you say that now. Wait until it goes 11.D0H first run at the track.. pushing 450-500 then i bet the boost would get played with.

Got the GN back today.Now it is just plain stupid for the road.It has 255tires on it and they have no traction no matter what speed you are going in this cold weather.Anything past 1/4 throttle will light the tires and yes I,like an idiot tried it at 95mph and almost spun the car off the highway
Hitting the dyno with it sometime this week,then it's for sale
