Guaranteed? They can make power for sure and I may even go the Hellion route eventually, but with 68s. My Whipple 18 runs 8.5@163 and gaps turbo cars regularly, so hopefully (for him) we ain’t at the same track!
yet you run into a Tesla plaid on the street and you’re getting handed at any dig race.

That things bad. Probably won’t run into very many. On the freeway, I’ll own it. Only dig at the track. Own it there too

Plenty in central Florida running around. No track needed to run 9.1s on the street every time. No Altitude, DA, track prep or 100 other excuses 95% of the ppl on this website have. Would be a fun car just to have if I had the spare change.

Definitely be fun. Wife’s already busting my nuggets for wanting to buy a new GT500

This is my car when I put the turbos on. Car made 1k @ 6500 and 893 @ 5400 to to the wheels at 13 psi.

the only pic I got of the car while at the shop was from a Airaid, as they were doing a commercial there.

i will admit if I’m roll racing a supercharged car, they will get the initial hit, but I do come around. I need to get into boost more and then..I’m out in front.

If the supercharged car is making 1200+ and auto, are you still coming around? 🤔

You would be surprised, many in the S550 community would say yes no matter what.

Put the Steeda K member on as well. Car so much easier to work on.
And yes the belt driven cars do get the hit if I am not brake boosting. With brake boosting it pretty much nullifies the advantage. Turbos for the win!!

Thank you fellas, The Pictures to hold us over made me smile. :)

Thankfully we all know Turbos are superior to superchargers. 18 Smoke is just yanking your chains.

:p

Never said turbos weren’t superior. And even said I’m contemplating the switch myself, but there’s nothing superior about having 300 less HP than the car you’re racing. If your turbo car can’t run mid 8s, then this belt driven bastard is gonna hand out a greyhound or 2. No disrespect. Just facts
