Looking at doing a turbo swap.

So ive been debating on it and i finally decided on just doing a turbo swap. It wont be untill next winter. but id like to do one of the swaps Hahn is coming out with. Now my main question is, if im pushing close to 500HP how the heck can i get the tires to actually stick to the ground?? ive seen a few SRT4's running 400+ HP and they get their tires to grab in 3rd gear, idk how the heck they do it?! So what are some ways to get the power to the ground??

lmao!! yeeeahhh... i want to get the RKSport hood but its like 50lbs lighter than the stock hood, and all that hoods gonna do is make my front lighter and let me spin even more... lmao!!

i know that engine and tranny mounts will help a lil, and im looking for some really nice sticky tires. lol! but i have no clue what else is out there to help?

On a FFWD car... it can be tough. Traction bars, sticky tires, mounts .... the list goes on. Then of course you usually start breaking hard parts when you do make it hook

pretty much the parts u need to make it stick is good motor mounts..some slicks good suspension and ur set.....i used 2 be a srt-4 owner......but then again srt-4 has so many parts outtt compared to a t/c....im just countin down the days when parts finally are made and coming out for the t/c..also u need some good internals.... 500 on stock internals..after a while its not gonna handle it..some cams,throttle body,fuel return line,fuel pump,intake manifold throttle body.. bigger injectors,a tune,....half the parts arent even out yet for the tc :/ the list goes on in parts...i wanna do 500 on my car 2..aint gonna be using my car as a daily driver..though

Yeah if i were to run 500HP id deff. replace all the internals and crap. lol! theres no way im gonna try to run 500 on stock internals. lmao! Yeah im pretty sure in another year or 2 there are gonna be just as many if not more aftermarket parts out for the TC as the SRT-4. This car is just so frekin amazing and what its capable of aftermarket companies would be stupid to not jump on the band wagon with making parts for htis car.
