^Yep..this. This 1/4 is the tell-tale indicator of improvement. While the numbers are good to look at to see the change based on whatever you have done to the car, the 1/4 is really the one that satisfies in the end. I mean Chi's RA is faster than a 345HP Lotus Evora S and 330HP Porsche Caymen R and 1/10 of a second slower than a 444 HP Mustang Boss X-) in the 1/4 mile at least... of course these are brake horsepower numbers

My you are easy to rile. When my car was destroyed, it did not have a stock turbocharger in it. I knew that it couldn't make that much power. I have looked at countless power maps and have concluded that it just isn't feasible. Sure, you could try and pull every once out of the car with that tiny turbocharger, but I can't see a point. Your numbers are greatly inflated. Take it out to the track and prove me wrong. That is where we determine how good your tune is. It is for this reason that I never had the RA tuned on a dyno. There was no guessing whether or not it could take the power on the street.

I would also like to point out that, towards the end of my RA's life, I wasn't much concerned with powah!!!. I was instead focused on stopping all of that power. Speaking of which, I really need to get working on that, again. These past two weeks have been set-back after set-back. I just got done paying for a $3k transmission overhaul/rebuild. That, and my rental car got broken into last night and all of the Xmas presents for the good little boys and girls are AWOL. So, forgive me if I am a bit...short with some posts.
