If you can still drive the car around town with it I don't see why you don't do it. With that new kit you'll have enough power to make some low 9 second run's.

see, what you dont get is that it realy isnt that bad on the street. running 3:73, with the 28" tire i had no issues, hell last week i took my car out for 2 rides. yhea, the headers where open so it wasnt easy, but it isnt bad. i wouldnt recomend going 80 down the highway till you get to florida, but to go for a cruz, put 50-60 miles on it on a nice saturday cruz with some of the boyz, cruze at 60-65 with no problem still fun because its a rev manual so you still have to shift. i mean go to florida, no, go for a cruz no problem.
and it makes the car fast, and big tires also make it safe. going 9s on a 275 nitto, with 1000 hp, that isnt so safe IMO

see, i beg to differ, my car still see's alot of trips to car shows, dunks, cruzin ect ect. but i only use it now in good weather. i enjoy street racing, but im looking into another toy for the street for next summer, and i have my harley, so to not be able to drive my car everyday realy doesnt bother me anymore.
right now im realy enjoying the racing thing.

no never made a full run over 540 rwhp but it did go 11.5 at 127, the time I ran it with 630 rwhp it blew a hole in the header right on the line...after that the turbo went on and made over 700 at 14 psi but I never ran it since NED was closed. Now that motors sold as well so we will never know, but I will give you an 11.7 at 150 with the new motor an setup...I promise...then I will powerbomb you right through you 40 point cage for good measure

As for the open loop thing I can agree a 400hp street car doesn't need open loop but with closed loop it will need a touch up tune from time to time do to changing conditions!!!
