Thanks TTP. I've always heard great things about you guys so you'll definitely be hearing more from me in the next few months. Right now I'm just deciding which way I want to go with my mods.

That's true. I'm just setting 400 whp as a goal. I'd rather have a better overall car. That's why I'm thinking of just heading down the road of tuning my car for better spool and response cause IMO it'll become a better everyday car and good for tracking if I ever get the time to track.

I've heard that even with 400 whp our trannies should still hold out pretty well. But once you start getting up to about 450 and above that's when you'll have to serious be careful.

Good to know... When I start modding more aggressively, my goal is around that area of 400WHP... so hopefully that is the case.

Actually, that sounds like a good way to go for right now. I'd love to have hardcore power too, but I'm thinking about the balancing and upgrading my breaks and suspensions first.

If you want to get to 400 hp you are more than likely going to have to run more boost than 20 psi...cams and meth are also pretty good upgrades.

Yeah, I plan to run more boost. I know it's going to be super hard to get 400 whp on 20 psi. Gotta do some extreme modding for that. haha
