Its funny because I can guarantee alot of the people that have 400+ hp and claim this and that about their car, cant even use it to its full potential so technically they too have a 300hp w/ lagg.

+1

And to be honest, im not hating on anyones ride. It’s pretty narly if you could build an engine that is reliable and has a large amount of HP. It takes more then just money to achieve certain power levels. But as Polar\_b16 said, if you cant use it to its full potential, then what’s the point?

and yea… money was a bad example :/:

Exactly the reason I was 441hp last summer and am now 330hp. That power was fun…real fun…on the highway.

Other than the straights, on the track it was almost useless… I’ve been there and decided to trade big power for responce.

Should you really be advocating big power…didn’t your big power result in an engine fire. 🙂

His car isn’t a faiulre; it was his mentality on keeping his bay looking stock ( **rubber** pcv hoses, charcoal canister, bkr6e plugs - half screwed in, etc.) :o

Yup… that damn rubber hose certainly did result in an engine BAY fire. That was my fault though not the powers fault. Its user error 99% of the time!

G… don’t be knocking my charcoal canister!

Didn’t my stock turbo’d engine with a 1/2 screwed in spark plug still out run your T3 setup G??? Maybe you should losen up a few plugs… might help. 😛

bahaha

awesome thread

i was in dustins car on dunnville, there wasn’t any lag ever… well i take that back, when the coolant temp was 120C and the paint on the hood was bubbling the throttle response sucked a little bit… other than that it was just scary as all hell
