Yes sir you are correct if talking about RWHP. My car makes between 550 and 580 using your calc. link. 10.60's at 126 and 10.30 at 129 with a weight of 3550.

Not trying to take any thing away from your combo. You are driving a 500 hp car and know how one feels and reacts. IMOP N20 is just not as flexible as NA or boosted hp.

Some people don't go WOT every time they drive their car, does that mean they also wouldn't be driving a 500+ whp? My car made 520 on the N20, it's been sprayed on the street from a roll, from a dig and for no ******* reason at all.

Gonna have to agree. your 500+ rating should be without N20. Otherwise anyone could put a big shot of N20 on a stock car and make that claim. Keep it real. Im at 500whp without my 175 shot BTW.

I could if I wanted to. It is in the trunk and ready to go when needed. Most people dont even use all their power everytime they go out anyways.

We'll just have to agree to disagree then. 500+rwhp is 500+ rwhp. The real difference is mine drives like stock making 440rwhp on motor, but with the flick of a switch, I can make 500+, while still keeping stock drivability everywhere else.

The ability to have 500+ hp is there when I want it, but not when I dont. Nitrous is just another way of making power. Just like anything else. So, when people ask me how much power I make, should I just tell them 440, since nitrous numbers dont count? And then when they assume its making 440rwhp, but see that its making a little more, I'd be considered an *** hole on that same level, since when I want 500+rwhp, its there.

Horsepower is horsepower. It does not matter how you get it done. The first guy to the finish wins. Those whining about how he got there are typically those who lost.

Well by that logic I can just throw my n20 kit on my 300hp dd truck, run a 200 hit at it occasionally and call it a 500hp dd. It's not really a 500 Hp vehicle
Now my old setup made 500rw n/a at 7000rpm. And was a full time thing without a flip of a switch.
It's not the same. I believe the op meant 500hp at the crank. Without nitrous.
With a sc or t4 power is readily available. At any time

Whatever you say. I can put a big turbo on my car and run very high boost and blow it up too. But the power is always there though, so its cool. Its not like nitrous cars arent built for it or anything to be reliable, and you're cheating because you have to push a button for it to work. And since nitrous is soo scarce, and you go through an entire bottle every time you go out, its impossible to find these days. I completely see what you're saying. Even though my car is making 500+ hp when I spray it, its really not. Oh well. Those graphs lie. It cant compete with other 500+hp cars.

I dont agree with the N20 claims..I dont have to turn on a bottle to get 500rwhp..it's how much I want to push the gas into the floor.

I just sold my 99 Formula, it was a forged 402 with ported l92's, it was 550/510 at the wheels on motor, 665/760 on nitrous. 23 mpg cruising on the highway. 6 speed ftw.

My C5 with M6 trans makes right around 500hp crank (430 wheel) NA and gets approx 33-34mpg highway. The highway gas mileage is actually a little better then when it was stock with 350hp. And city mpg isn't bad at all either, I usually average around 22-23mpg city and highway combined. I just mean 500hp NA doesn't always mean sucky gas mileage now-a-days.
