I'm making 650whp on low boost and it scares me every time I drive it - for the last 2 years ! I'm not "getting used to it" lol although yeah I don't drive it that much these days.
Yeah I remember when the new 4.6 cobra 4v came out and people were strapping on blowers and making 420whp out of the box and I remember thinking, "wow we have just gone too far now - what is the point of even building a hot rod if these guys can make SO MUCH power on a factory motor so easily ??"
Still remember the first time I saw a magazine car claiming 1000fhp, it was a TT 331 ci Saleen Mustang 5.0. I just thought wow that is stupid I bet that motor is a total hand grenade anyway. But I was intrigued by twin turbos in a street car....
Ramble on over to the forced induction section of the Corvette forum - now a days you're pretty much a chump if you're not making 1000whp. I don't know where those guys are doing all that roll racing to 150mph but I"m glad it doesn't seem to be anywhere around me !!
