Message	I track my car 3-4 days a month- very regularly. I generally run 13-14 psi, and that is plenty of power for me. I still have a lot of headroom at that, so I can't imagine running larger turbos on the road course at their max. IMHO, one only needs 380-400 rwhp or so to be competitive on most road courses. I would think a more usable power band (area under the curve) would benefit one much more at the track than >500rwhp...

I'm not talking about track power. - Woody75 (Denver) 10:01:56 01/04/05 How would you classify theses turbos>> - XTZ2 10:39:42 01/04/05 If you want a pure track car, they are not the ones to get. - Woody75 (Denver) 11:21:11 01/04/05 ditto... we could have easily gotten to 500RWHP, but I was - Scotts94z32 10:51:31 01/04/05 You say your turbos are putting out more power than claimed> - XTZ2 09:55:20 01/04/05 he's been changing and tuning as to get the most performance - DragonSi 10:01:54 01/04/05 Not at all.

(n/m) - Woody75 (Denver) 11:30:27 01/04/05 higher compression is going to adversely affect max boost - Rbadger 12:00:41 01/04/05 Max power is overrated. Useable power is where it's at.
