#40422 I could get more then 300 with my setup too, but i want traction, and a somewhat reliable car.

#40688 i plan on going for 400whp so i can use that on the track and i will detune it for street use. i still want to make as much power as possible then worry about traction. when the motor gets built i will be looking for slicks as well so i can actually use the power
