Kinda funny.... apparently some people, who won't be named, think that you can't road race a high horsepower car. This is very interesting. And I suppose since the majority of them wouldn't know how to mod a DSM for reliability then I can see where they are coming from. But I would like to clear the air on some misconceptions before they get too smug :)
First, it's not 500hp car. I have since UPGRADED turbos and will be dyno'd before I bring it out to SCR. Secondly, I boost on the car DAILY. And not 10psi. I've hit 37PSI a few times and daily boost to 27 which is where I've got the BC set right now.... ON PUMP GAS. Third I have more into mods to keep my setup running strong than most of them have in their car. I purchased things like Trans coolers, diff coolers, Ti Rods, etc...etc...etc.... ETC... so that it isn't just a damn "drive it 1/4 mile shut it off" car.
I will be running on stock brakes and stock suspension while out there. It's to prove a point to a few people.
And in case you still can't see the light, Erron Spalsbury has personally told me he knows at least one person who is going with a "500hp" FP3065 like I was running for ROAD RACE. And I've still yet to hear him laugh about it.
And this isn't a "drag tuning session" this is for fun. I invited a few people out to watch her go because I'd like to give rides and have guys who I think are pretty damn cool and that I respect check out the car and give input. Personally I think that if you think it's funny you should maybe shut your yap.
