How fast are you FI induction guys??
How fast are you FI induction guys?? Tell me how fast are your cars in the 1/4 and the MPH? Thinking about going with a Turbo set up instead of a 402 or 427. Tell my about some fast cars you guys have beaten on the street.

Personally I feel forced induction is cheaper in the long run to go faster than going with a built 427. Both can be very fast.

Turbo cars are a bitch to run on the street, especially if the road isn't prepped. I've seen 9 and 10 second forced induction cars get waxed by 11-sec. nitrous cars.

My 350rw big block 71rsz is QUICKER w/ no juice then my 572rw SS.
Probably to 1000ft, On the other hand my ttss is FASTER by leaps and bounds then my rsz. They would probably tie ET in the 1/4, the rsz at 110mph the ss at 130.
Ones setup, ones still stock suspension, and bald tires.
On the street the SS wins hands down, at the same time the rsz is braking 115 the SS would be doing 160+
And coming out of a hard corner the boost comes on smoothe and hard and plants the *** and digs like a mother.
Some people like to let off after ¼ mile, some like to keep their foot in it in till they red line 5th.
both equally good but I fall into the latter group.I feel w/ a little suspension work and tires my SS will do both well.
My goal is simple, 10.1 on the quarter (10.1 because if I ever do 10.0 id be shooting for 9's) - 1.2 g's on the skid pad, and 201mph top speed.
ha- should have saved up for a new zo6.
drag radials they dont help drag radials that is I think all the rubber from them is stuck under my rear quater pannels the bfg's and nittos are useless now the MT's I have not tried.

I was rolling by Sacramento Int. Airport on my way home from work and got into a nice race with an American Airlines jumbo jet. I heard the whistle of air and figured he was turbo'd like me so I went for it! At first he seemed to be gaining on me but it was hard to drive and look up in the sky at the same time so I'm not sure, we may have been dead even. Once I hit about 90mph I started to pull on him and by 110mph I was walking him HARD!! Well I thought I was. Turns out he was banking in a turn to line up for the runway.. 
The American jets are fast! Maybe I need to shoot for a Japanese Airliner?

this 1000hp beast is not going to hook from a stop.... so we can forget about that... assume we're going from a roll... (like every supra race you've ever seen on the internet.
j/k) ok, so now we're going 40-60mph on the hwy.. you still cant punch it unless you have a long lag in your turbo.... so you ease swiftly into it...
ooh, look! you're doing 120+ easily.. hell with 1000hp, 150 comes up awful fast.
not much of a street race, more of a sign of ignorance. 90% of the people with enough knowlege of cars to build somthing like that, are not going to "race" on the street... fool around? perhaps occasionally... but not outright race.
the remaining 10% either live out west where theres enough space to almost get away with that crap, or they're just stupid.
