Bring the car to Road America or Run n Gun and the times will tell you if your car works.....

The track is the only place to see how your car works regardless of the HP...... Although you better have 700 hp to compete.....

I am still sorting out my car and my abilities with it. The one thing that I do like with the turbo is the power on tap if you lite it up but otherwise its pretty docile. I also vary the boost and have three tunes for 7 lbs, 15 lbs and 25 lbs. The twenty five lb. boosted car is really no fun with the standard Yoko 295's on the rear. I forgot to add 596 rwhp and 644 tq on a Mustang Dyno with 7lbs of boost 4th gear 5500rpm 74f and 62% humidity. We were using cp 116 fuel.

I guess the way I look at this is 600 HP to much HP to floor it in first gear? Yes.

But then the throttle is not an off/on switch. Learn to control the throttle so you get the most out of the car. Then 600HP will not be to much.

thanks 4 the advice. first time i took it out almost piled it up took it back to the shop and realized bothfront tires were toed out and i had the rear coilovers all the way down that explains why it felt like the front tires came off the ground when i mashed the throttle and that it shot to the left when it came back down. I learned a valuable lesson and the car is still in one piece, WHAT A RUSH if it ever stops raining ill take out again and see if my new setup works.
