Now that you have FI

[krahooligan]

How comfortable are you with the car? How much power would be too much to handle for a daily driver? Have you ever got yourself into trouble (besides speeding tickets) after you added FI?
I plan on adding some sort of forced induction down the road (probably whipple). This is the first car that I have had over 300 HP and sometimes I scare myself in this thing. Hope to join in the FI club within the year.:cheers:

Too much to handle for a daily driver is probably around 1200hp. After 600rwhp you will need to begin making forward dry traction dedicated decisions with the IRS and tires that can compromise other performance categories.

Whats too much to handle for one person might not be too much to them. Its power you should slowly work up to, not just bam 555+ whp. You dont have the experience. Its good way to hurt yourself and the car if it steps out and you cant handle it. I vote full bolt ons and get a blower later. That way you can get used to being closer to 500+ before just slapping some force induction on.

I drive mine in heavy DC traffic whenever I get the chance. If anything, the power helps get around people not paying attention and generally being foolish around you. I drove a friend's JGC SRT8 today and it actually felt...slow. You get used to the power and how to handle it.

Treat it with a healthy dose of respect and fear until you get a good handle on it. Then it's nothing but good times - only scary when you deliberately want it to be.

My car drives fairly normal until I mash the Go pedal, then all hell breaks loose. Pretty much any FI setup on pump gas will make 600+, then traction becomes your biggest issue. Sticky tires that can handle FI typically suck in the rain. For me, I don't DD my 600+whp TVS setup some I'm ok with MT's. If I had to DD a GT I'd go full bolt-ons, so you could still use good/safe all season tires. It's not the power, the power can be controlled, but not if you have anything short of a drag radial.

the rain is the only thing that would worry me
