He is making 1520 hp at 59 lbs of boost. Not many street cars will hold together making that much boost. I think I had the boost at 14 lbs by the end of the day and the track was getting slippery when it would hit 2nd gear so I called it a day without adding anymore boost. I don't think I would want to push mine past about 16lbs anyway without bigger injectors etc. That looks like a blast to drive.

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Being a Turbo car, they tend to launch on the soft side compared to raw horsepower or nitrous. I 'd like to know, other than welding the head to the block, how does one contain 59 lbs. of boost?
