FYI i´m not a newby and know what i´m getting into but it´s better to know about weak links before buying things and see peoples diffrent setups and power per psi and/or CID.This is my first Turbo or TT project so í´m thinking weather i can make 900+rwhp on a budget,how radail cam you are using ect...

Well traction is allways a problem on 500+rwhp cars but if you know what your doing then 1.1-1.4 60" is just a walk in the park

The Pump octane is 95,98 and 100 Ron and about 0-400 DA whera i live and about 990 millibars air pressure


Last question What DCR/SCR do you have on what octane rating?


Thanks

Yeah you can, a FAT budget.
Haha sorry..... my quest for around 700-750 on pump and meth has cost as much as the car itself, even if my first shortblock hadn't taken a really early ****.

Good luck though, seriously.

Once you start getting over 550 rear wheel , its gets harder and harder to hook on the street, unless you plan to run BFG or M/T drag radial and those don't last for **** and they are dangerous in the rain.

Yeah 1000-1500 hp posts sure are funny unless you have an extra $30K laying around... even more for the 1500HP one.....
its one thing to say it and another to do it...... it costs big bucks to make BIG HP..... there's no budget about it.

And make that x2 on the cooling system. Stock stuff works great even at higher power levels. Mine runs 180/185 and 195/200 with the A/C on.

that may be true for you, but it isn't nearly as bad for those of us that spin our own wrenches and that aren't afraid to dive in head first with fabrication tools. if I paid someone to do my work, I migh have a h/c car at this point.

i guess you have no clue what i paid for labor then do you....... next to nothing..... good parts add up fast.... thats what i was trying to say..... nice wise *** comment. if you do any research you would see i did all my own work on my motor and my old SC setup with my own fabbed FMIC setup..... my car was set to Detroit to have APE work on it before they went under....... all the **** hit the fan and my car was stuck locked in the shop by the local sheriff's department. Stenod went and got it for me and fixed what was jacked up ... big time..... They helped me out big time..... I love it when people open there mouth about stuff they know nothing about.....

BINGO,I spin my own wrench

But yes 1.1 is absolute best but it´s not that extremely hard to do,you just need alot of time and trial and error on gear ratio,tire size and suspension geometry

10-15K is Absolute max and i can make my roll cage,Suspension stuff ect

R.assembly 1500
Block 1-2K
Suspension 3k
H/C 2K
Exhaust 1K
Turbos/Intercooler/Piping 2-3K
Misc 2K


=14,5K Rough calculation

No prob ol buddy, I get tired of being under the car and wished I had the money to get it done all at once, but I don't so its piece by piece on my piece Too bad about precision turbo, and the junk they sent you. Glad you were able to find a better deal.

Yep if its offered, snag that offer up and choke it for all its worth nothing wrong with that. I'm thinking the ol Green beast needs some CF body panels.....might as well right

Cool, I want to try those but was hoping for some 315's. I'm still stuck in the low 11's on the goodyears.

And yeah, it was always my intent to drive this car alot, I was just tired of it looking crusty underneath. Now that everything is painted, when it gets dirty I just put it up on the rack, powerwash everything, dry it with a leaf blower and she looks brand new again.
