yea but 800hp is not really a streetable car cause you will alwyas be boosting i always hear people saying do high compression and alot of nitrous so you can launch off the line and then use the nitrous when you get rolling but thats what im trying to find out what everyone thinks thanks for your opinion

Your only boosting if your foot's in it, lol... If you do a turbo, you can tone it down with a boost controller....
