It's way fun on the street but it'll be deboosted via a pulley change to about 5-6 psi (probably ~575-600 crank hp) for real tracks with turns. The engine and chassis would never live on a roadcourse at the 15psi of boost I run on the street and I don't pretend it would-- I'd heatsoak the sucker in a lap! I also don't have the brakes and all the other ancillary equipment that would be up to the task of handling 15psi on the track. I'm not lying to myself... I know I will have a handful at 5-6 psi of boost, leaving it at 15psi would be well beyond my abilities and the chassis capabilities. I'll still have fun though.
