My car's making real power... 92 real hp and 97 real lb-ft of torque (at the crank)... and I haven't even installed my new Twin-Turbo Zet!
I haven't dynoed it yet, but when I do, I'll post the graphs to prove it... I know that kind of insane power is hard to believe.
My 1/4 times are in the low 10s, I'd scan the slip, but it blew out the window on my way home from the track cos I was going so fast.
Oh yeah: I beat a Vette Z06 last night in a street race.

Nitrous is on the way gentlemen. Final order was placed today for solenoids and a gauge.
If you can please define "real power", then I can likely oblidge within the next few weeks. I figure a dyno of 250+ wheel horsepower should start perking a few ears...
And if 250WHP isn't enough, I can jet it higher. A 150HP jetting is less than half of what the system is capable of... But I think I'd rather keep my nitrous bill down (at $200 a bottle) versus impress some kiddie who doesn't know what power actually means.
$200 bottle = 40 pound scuba tank... Or did I forget to mention that?

Nope, a fourty pound tank = $200 a fill The best price I can find here is $4.95/lb...
I do also have a 10 pound bottle that we're using for testing, but honestly... a 10 pound bottle is going to last -- what, 5 runs MAYBE on a 150 shot?
If we're gonna make big power, we need BIG bottles.

Red: You're insane. eek!
My definition of real power:
There is no exact number or figure. You may set a hp goal to your car but once you reach it, you would be asking for more. Real power is not defined by the car, it's defined by the driver.

sorry it has taken me so long to post, i worked all day yesterday and then just came home and crashed. well is 5 in the morning now and i see there have been 18 posts *wow im impressed*. any way when i say real power it i guess it would be about 350 hp and up. im not too into the whole nitruos thing though. not that this is a lot, but i messed around with a 50 shot for a while (yes i do have a auto tranny, and its uber messed up) and it wasnt really worth it, i dont think. i could go on a little more on the nitous but i dont wanna right now. any way i was hoping for someone jacked up on 1-2 bar to show me some real uber numbers. i gotta go to work right now, but ill post alittle more when i get back. thanks guyz
