If he feathers out on ET Streets he (err, should) be ok, and get a fair reading of MPH. If he drops it and they hook, different story.

This reminds me of when Supras were the rage. They all put down 600-1000 hp all would trap 130-150 mph, but none could break an 11.5:suicide:.

I also agree 100% on that. Enkei is the McGyver of cars :)

A lot of turbo Porsches are in the same category. It's all about the 60', and that takes some refinement. It also has relatively little to do with "real world" driving.

He won't hook. He should be making too much TQ for it to hook. My buddy spins in his 550rwhp GTO which also has the stock diff and shafts if he tries to launch with anything above 3000. If he launches at 2500 it bogs.

That's funny, all the turbo Porsches that I've seen launch like crazy, but have NO topend. One of my good friends ran a 12.7 at 109 with a 1.7 60ft on a chipped 996 turbo.

This is where the suspension, gearing and stall speed (if it's an auto) come into play. Like I said with the Chevelle if I installed drag oriented springs, lower gears and a 4500 stall I would be faster without ever touching the engine.

The reason those Supras only run 11's but turn 130-150 is because they don't make any power until the large turbo starts making boost which is usaully around 4500 or higher and they have stock gearing.

True, stock to moderate upscale TPs have the opposite problem of a Supra (are kind of like Evos for the same reason), But monster power Porsches have ETs well below what you'd expect, for kind of the same reason as the monster power Supras. I've raced some 800HP beasts (never been passed like that), but the owner said they have the Devil's time cracking below 11.5.

We're going to need a box of matches, a magnifying glass, some chop sticks and some duct tape. We're gonna paint this fu*ker.

I have to agree. He did a DAMN FINE job with the little money he had.:bigthumbsup::bigthumbsup::bigthumbsup:
