Default who here daily a 600whp+ car?

I finally reach 600whp on my fbody and after having 315 dr i feel like i can push a bit more without it being a spin master in the streets.

my main concern originally is having traction. but considering it grabs relatively well on 2nd gear+ made me rethink my end goal to maybe 700 or 800?

for those that do what is your tire setup? and whats been the expense of driving a beast on the streets?

im currently running 91 oct. with methanol injection. 2 nozzle 6lbs pre & 12lbs post comp. im considering adding another 6lbs post if needed to up the boost past 20psi.(trying to avoid all cost of using e85 as that would require new tune on a new injectors and limited gas station options(got anoying quick on my last e85 daily)

just trying to see if that extra 200+ is something i want for street use.

I would say get your traction figured out before u add any more power. Spinnin ain't winnin. I guess u could always change to a big tire if u are serious but wouldn't make much sense on the street

i dont have experience with nitrous but with turbo i have plenty of traction in 2nd gear.

its also a 5.3 not an ls1. so as far as traction goes id say im good for another 100whp?
