Agreed. Only thing keeping me from doing heads/cam/intake is the fact that I know *I* am the limiting factor in getting the car faster. That'd put me just under 600whp.

I lack the testicles and confidence to enter turn 8 at big willow at 150mph... I think 650-700whp is manageable in a first gen as long as its setup right. I believe the minitub trend of stuffing steamrollers in the back isn't about traction as much as it is for looks. A leftover trend from streetrodding and pro-street.

I have minimal issues with traction on R888s and 460whp 510ft/lbs...
