I don't see where a 2k hp car would be that hard to drive or any harder than say driving a 1k hp car,exp with turbos because at around town cruising it will be at lower boost,would be easier than a 1k nitrous motor on the street,I ran my 37 ford with a 1100hp the street it was to painfull just took alitte common sense with it.

Anyway I am still not sure about this whole deal,I'm looking for it in the 1300hp bracket.

I'm the reason Scott got the smiley. I love power, but 2000+ HP is out of the realm of a driveable street car. I had over 1000 HP on pump gas and it would spin the drag radials at any speed or rpm in 1-3rd gear. I cannot imagine 2000+ hp. It would be driveable with turbos, but there's no way to hook that power with a street tire, regardless of chassis.

Good luck with the project!

I agree you will never hook it on the street,but would be fun, my 710 I had this summer,It would blow the tires loose at 80mph,was fun to play with.yeah it would be total overkill but the wow and just because factor would be a blast.

well, been there done that but 1000 HP will do all the thrill and 80-100 mph burnouts you want. 2000 becomes silly and very dangerous in my opinion. Have fun but seriously, watch yourself.

Update,We talked today and he decided not to do it to this car,doesn't want to redo everything.He's talking about putting a turbo on the new car they plan to build next year.so we'll see what happens.


Thanks for all the advice,info,and time we you spent reading 6 pages of threads,I never thought this would be a 6 page post.

Thanks

No ****.....if we weren't going on 15yrs of friendship....I have a policy of not giving any info out,if I don't build the motor,so all the info I learned is stored for a future combo,someday
