and I was talking about the meet tomorrow night, just mentioning some of us are going to the Rock saturday to have our makeup day(free entry bishes! for those who went and were added to the list thanks to Russel)
Beyond that and it will have to be a turbo upgrade, then you run into fueling issues around 400whp with the direct injection. Still on the stock internals though!
There is a company offering compressor wheel upgrades on the stock turbo now for about $800.. interested to see the results of that - apparently the upgrade has similar power levels, but pulls a lot harder to redline and allows more power beyond redline.
yeah.. It seems like its fairly cheap (compared to the supercharged) to get 310-320whp, but the futher you go beyond that the exponentially more expensive its going to be.
I would be set w/ around 330hp myself though, after that the car just becomes too much unless you do some suspension upgrades and stuff. 350 is plenty fast in these cars but I am sure if I had one, after it was paid for and i had another car I wouldn't mind having it as a track go'er

But that whoosh of the turbo and kick in the pants is addicting (which is why I never get above 21 mpg avg)

We're about 15 members strong, and we have a sponsership with Marine Chevrolet. They started us out with a decent budget, which will soon grow hopefully.
hmm, maybe I should invest in HPT myself so I can have a normal set up on there and a nitrous setup so I can just flash between the two as needed. Big investment though not knowing jack but gotta learn sometime.
