Are you referring to the girl from Seminole county that made 477whp and 400ft lbs torque in her AP2?
Also, psi doesn't determine power on it's own. I can swap my old t-25 turbo from my 2G DSM onto my current turbo setup and run 18 psi, it won't push shit for power and any SC'd S2K with 300whp will eat me alive. Why? B/C my old T-25 pushed less than 400 CFMs and had the efficiency of a wind spinner on a stick.

but higher the RPM the TQ starts dropping off for the T/C while the S/C makes the most TQ up top.btw I'm not talking about the same PSI,I'm talking about the same WHP.
I'd say the SC would lose

I would assume with the same whp it should be pretty close...my TQ curve stays flat after 6k to redline at around 200tq. So my conclusion from a roll would be a pretty tight race. (as long as I'm in my power band)
my dyno done a couple months ago.
I'm going in for a tune with an EU soon(maybe wednesday).will post up my results afterwards.hoping to break 340whp.I just filled up with 100 octane a couple days ago.

Hopefully we will. Leon (devious.) mentioned hosting something in SWFL, but I'm not sure how serious he was about it.
When's the new setup coming? I can't believe you're chaning it up already, I'd love to be making your numbers. I guess you can never have enough power

I came from DSMs and have already had a higher hp turbo car...so 400whp wasn't really that much for me, I just wasn't sure how it would feel in a lightweight rwd vert.
You CAN have too much power, and that comes when you can't control your traction when you push in the throttle or 'feather' it.
New setup should be here by Jan.
